Description
A refined Parisian essential, the Ami de Coeur cardholder distills the label’s signature heart motif into a sleek, everyday carry.
Born from Alexandre Mattiussi’s vision of accessible Parisian cool, the Ami de Coeur cardholder is a study in understated luxury. Crafted from supple grained calfskin leather, it carries the maison’s iconic heart emblem — embroidered or embossed depending on the iteration — as a quiet declaration of the brand’s romantic spirit. The “Ami de Coeur” (“Friend of the Heart”) insignia has become a signature shorthand for the label, representing the inclusive, heartfelt ethos that has defined AMI Paris since its founding.
Designed for the modern minimalist, this compact cardholder slips effortlessly into a jacket pocket or the palm of a hand. Multiple card slots are cleverly arranged along the interior, with a central compartment suited to folded notes or receipts. Clean stitching along the edges and the soft, slightly waxy hand of the calfskin speak to AMI’s commitment to considered craftsmanship and wearable sophistication.
The result is a piece that transcends trend — a tactile, intimate accessory that feels personal the moment it is held. It is the kind of object that becomes more characterful with use, developing a gentle patina over time.

The grained calfskin offers a soft, supple hand with a subtle pebbled texture that resists everyday wear while developing a refined patina over time. AMI Paris selects hides with a consistent grain and a smooth, waxy finish, ensuring each cardholder feels tactile and luxurious from the very first touch.
Styling
A natural companion to tailored separates, this cardholder pairs effortlessly with an oversized wool coat and leather loafers for a Parisian-inspired weekday look. Slip it into a vintage denim jacket for an off-duty weekend ensemble, or present it as a thoughtful, refined gift for the well-traveled minimalist in your life.
