FAQs
What material is the sweater made from?
The AMI Paris Ami De Coeur sweater is crafted from 100% virgin wool, providing a luxurious feel and exceptional warmth.
How should I wash this sweater?
This sweater requires hand washing only. Use cool water and a mild wool-specific detergent, then lay flat to dry, carefully reshaping it.
What does 'Ami de Coeur' mean and where is it on the sweater?
'Ami de Coeur' translates to 'friend of the heart' and refers to the signature intarsia-knitted red heart logo that is prominently featured on the chest of the sweater.
Where is this sweater manufactured?
The AMI Paris Ami De Coeur sweater is meticulously crafted in Portugal, reflecting high standards of quality and workmanship.
Is this sweater suitable for women?
While listed as a men's sweater, knitwear is often worn by individuals regardless of gender. Women can certainly wear this style, but it's recommended to check the specific measurements provided (e.g., center back length for M and XS) to ensure the desired fit.
What is the specific color of the sweater?
The designer color is 'Off White', which is a sophisticated and versatile shade, slightly warmer than a pure bright white.
How should I store the sweater when not in use?
To prevent stretching and maintain its shape, always store your virgin wool sweater folded neatly in a drawer or on a shelf, rather than hanging it.
Troubleshooting
Sweater has shrunk or changed shape after washing.
This is often due to washing in hot water or improper agitation. Always hand wash in cool water with a mild wool detergent and avoid wringing or twisting. Lay flat to dry, gently reshaping as it dries.
Pilling (small balls of fiber) appearing on the surface.
Pilling is natural with wool from friction. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver, a specialized wool comb, or even carefully with scissors. Avoid excessive rubbing of the fabric.
Sweater feels scratchy or stiff after drying.
Ensure all detergent residue is thoroughly rinsed out. Using a wool-specific conditioner during rinsing can also help maintain softness. Make sure it's completely dry before storing.
Shoulders are stretched or misshapen.
This happens when hung on a hanger. Always store your wool sweater folded neatly in a drawer or on a shelf to preserve its shape.
Color appears dull or faded.
Over-washing or harsh detergents can sometimes dull colors. Follow hand-washing guidelines strictly and use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate garments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your AMI Paris Ami De Coeur sweater involves understanding its care requirements and how best to integrate it into your wardrobe.

Compatibility with Your Wardrobe
- Bottoms: Pairs well with a wide range of trousers, from tailored chinos and wool pants to denim jeans. The Off White color provides a neutral base.
- Layering: Excellent over light t-shirts or thin long-sleeved shirts. Can be comfortably worn under jackets, blazers, or overcoats.
- Footwear: Versatile enough for smart sneakers, loafers, or dress boots.
Care Instructions
The longevity and appearance of your virgin wool sweater depend heavily on proper care. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
- Hand Washing Only: This is crucial. Fill a basin with cool or lukewarm water (never hot). Add a small amount of mild wool-specific detergent. Submerge the sweater and gently squeeze the soapy water through it. Do not rub, wring, or twist vigorously, as this can cause shrinking and damage to the wool fibers.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all soap is gone. Again, avoid wringing.
- Drying: Carefully lift the sweater from the water, supporting its weight. Gently press out excess water by rolling it in a clean, dry towel. Do not hang to dry, as this can stretch and distort the shape. Instead, lay the sweater flat on a clean, dry surface or a mesh drying rack, away from direct sunlight or heat, reshaping it gently as needed. Allow it to air dry completely.
- Storage: Once completely dry, fold the sweater neatly and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging wool sweaters can cause them to stretch and lose their shape, especially at the shoulders.
- Pilling: Over time, some pilling (small fiber balls) may occur due to friction. Gently remove these with a fabric shaver or a specialized wool comb to keep your sweater looking fresh.
- Stains: Address stains immediately. Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild wool detergent, avoiding harsh rubbing.
