Description
A heartfelt tribute to Parisian romance — the Ami de Coeur bomber reimagines the varsity classic with AMI’s signature embroidered heart.
The Ami de Coeur bomber jacket stands as one of the most recognizable signatures of AMI Paris, founded by Alexandre Mattiussi in 2011. Translating to “Friend of the Heart,” the motif — a small red heart paired with the word “Ami” — captures the brand’s tender, inclusive philosophy of fashion that speaks to friendship, affection, and the quiet poetry of Parisian life. Worn by devotees of understated cool from Timothée Chalamet to editorial stylists across Europe, it has become a modern cult piece.
This particular iteration is rendered in a richly saturated tonal palette, with the signature “Ami de Coeur” patch embroidered at the left chest in AMI’s iconic script. The bomber silhouette draws from classic American varsity traditions, reinterpreted through a European lens — slightly cropped, gently boxy, with raglan sleeves and a refined ribbed hem that sits cleanly at the hip. Welt pockets sit at the waist for a streamlined finish, while the sturdy zip closure and tonal hardware maintain the jacket’s minimalist confidence.

The wool-blend shell offers structured warmth with a soft, slightly felted hand — refined enough for layering over knitwear while maintaining the body a bomber silhouette requires. The viscose lining ensures easy layering over shirts or fine knits without bulk, while the contrast ribbed trims provide shape retention and a clean graphic finish at the openings.
Styling
Lean into its varsity roots by pairing it with relaxed indigo denim, a crisp white tee, and low-top leather sneakers for an effortlessly Parisian weekend look. For evenings, layer it over a fine merino roll-neck and tailored wool trousers, letting the embroidered heart act as the single statement against a tonal palette.
Brand Heritage

The name itself, meaning “friend” in French, reflects the brand’s ethos of inclusive, gender-fluid elegance.
