FAQs

What is the Ami de Cœur motif?

The Ami de Cœur motif is AMI Paris's signature emblem, a heart design with an 'A' for Ami. It symbolizes friendship, love, and Parisian elegance, intarsia-knitted directly into the cardigan's fabric.

Is this cardigan true to size?

The cardigan is designed with an oversized fit. For the intended relaxed look, we recommend selecting your usual size. If you prefer a less voluminous fit, you might consider sizing down, but be aware it is crafted to be loose.

Can I machine wash this wool cardigan?

No, machine washing is not recommended. To preserve the 100% wool material and the cardigan's shape, it should only be `hand washed low` or `dry cleaned` as per the care instructions.

How should I store the cardigan?

Always store the cardigan folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging it for extended periods, especially when wet, as the weight of the wool and the oversized fit can cause it to stretch and lose its shape.

Is the cardigan suitable for all seasons?

Made from 100% wool, it is primarily designed for cooler seasons, providing warmth and comfort. However, its breathability means it can be layered for transitional weather, offering versatility depending on the climate.

What if I accidentally wash it incorrectly?

If washed incorrectly (e.g., in hot water or machine washed), wool can shrink or felt. While sometimes irreversible, you can try gently re-shaping it while damp and laying it flat to dry. For significant damage, consult a professional garment care specialist.

Troubleshooting

Cardigan appears stretched or misshapen.

This often occurs from hanging wet or storing incorrectly. Always lay flat to dry and store folded. Gentle reshaping while damp can sometimes help.

Pilling (small balls of fiber) appearing on the surface.

Pilling is common with natural fibers like wool. Use a fabric shaver, lint roller, or wool comb to gently remove the pills. This will restore the smooth appearance of the fabric.

Cardigan feels scratchy or rough after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and cool water for hand washing. Thorough rinsing is also important to remove all detergent residue. Professional dry cleaning is often the best way to maintain softness.

Stains are difficult to remove.

Avoid aggressive scrubbing, which can damage wool fibers. For persistent stains, it is best to take the cardigan to a professional dry cleaner who specializes in wool garments.

Buttons feel loose or are falling off.

Regularly check the stitching on buttons. If a button feels loose, reinforce it with a needle and thread to prevent it from detaching completely.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to preserve the quality, shape, and longevity of your 100% wool cardigan.

  • Washing: The recommended care is `hand wash low` or `dry clean`.
  • Hand Washing: If hand washing, use cold water and a wool-specific detergent. Gently agitate the garment (do not rub or twist excessively). Rinse thoroughly with cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  • Dry Cleaning: For best results and to maintain the garment's structure, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently press out excess water without twisting. Lay the cardigan flat on a clean towel to air dry, reshaping it to its original dimensions. Avoid hanging while wet, as this can stretch the wool and alter its shape, especially due to the oversized fit and dropped shoulders.
  • Storage: Fold the cardigan neatly to store it in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging it for extended periods, as this can cause stretching, particularly in the shoulder area due to its weight. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
  • Pilling: Wool garments can sometimes pill. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or a specialized wool comb. This is a normal characteristic of natural fibers and does not indicate a defect.
  • Stains: Address stains promptly. Blot gently with a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional dry cleaner.
