Description
A quintessentially Parisian layering piece that translates the iconic Ami de Coeur into tactile knitwear.
Crafted in a refined knit construction, this sleeveless vest from AMI Paris captures the effortless Parisian cool that has defined Alexandre Mattiussi’s label since its 2011 debut. The signature “Ami de Coeur” heart emblem is intricately embroidered at the chest, rendered in the brand’s instantly recognizable cursive script that has become synonymous with the house’s romantic, menswear-inspired aesthetic.
Designed as a trans-seasonal layering staple, this knitted vest bridges the gap between tailored shirting and knitwear, offering versatility for the modern wardrobe. The relaxed, slightly oversized silhouette echoes AMI’s signature approach to elevated everyday dressing, while the clean V-neckline and neat ribbed trims provide a polished finish that works equally well worn solo or layered over crisp cotton shirts and turtlenecks.
A study in understated luxury, this piece reflects founder Alexandre Mattiussi’s philosophy of creating “real clothes for real people” — garments that possess a refined sensibility without sacrificing wearability, making them enduring favorites among a devoted global following.

Composition & Materials

This vest is crafted from a luxurious wool and cashmere blend that delivers exceptional softness against the skin while providing natural warmth and temperature regulation. The fibers combine the structural integrity of wool with the supple, featherlight hand-feel of cashmere, creating a knit that drapes elegantly and resists pilling when properly cared for. The fabric’s inherent breathability makes it suitable for layering throughout the transitional seasons.
Styling
Embrace AMI’s signature Parisian nonchalance by layering the piece over a crisp white Oxford shirt with tailored navy trousers and minimalist leather loafers. For a more relaxed weekend approach, style over a fine merino turtleneck with straight-leg denim and suede Chelsea boots, letting the embroidered heart sit center stage as the focal point of the ensemble.
