Description
A romantic Parisian staple reimagined as a relaxed cotton overshirt, stitched with AMI’s signature Coeur patch.
Crafted from a substantial garment-dyed cotton twill, the Ami De Coeur overshirt bridges the gap between a tailored shirt and a lightweight jacket, offering a versatile silhouette that defines AMI Paris’s contemporary vision of French wardrobe staples. The piece features a relaxed, boxy cut through the body with dropped shoulders, allowing it to layer effortlessly over fine knitwear, tees, or even under a heavier overcoat during transitional seasons.
The defining detail is the embroidered Ami De Coeur heart — the maison’s iconic “friend of the heart” motif — rendered in tonal stitching on the left chest patch pocket. This understated signature, conceived by founder Alexandre Mattiussi, has become a quiet emblem of the brand’s ethos: clothing made for friends, inspired by the warmth of Parisian intimacy and the ease of everyday elegance. Corozo nut buttons, a refined detail from the natural world, run down the front placket and secure the adjustable cuffs.
Cut to be worn open over a favorite tee or buttoned up as a standalone shirt-jacket, this is a piece designed for the rhythm of modern city life — equally at home thrown over denim at a café terrace or styled beneath a wool coat for a crisp morning commute.

Composition & Materials
- 100% Cotton
Constructed from a heavyweight, garment-dyed cotton twill that develops a beautifully lived-in character with wear. The Corozo nut buttons offer a natural, tactile finish that complements the fabric’s softly washed appearance, while the tonal embroidery ensures the signature heart motif feels integrated rather than applied.
Styling
Layer open over a crisp white AMI tee and relaxed-fit raw denim for an effortlessly cool Parisian weekend look. For cooler days, button it up over a fine merino roll neck and pair with tailored wool trousers and leather Chelsea boots — the cotton twill reads as outerwear without the bulk.
Brand Heritage
Founded in 2011 in Paris by designer Alexandre Mattiussi, AMI Paris is the French word for “friend” — a name that captures the label’s inclusive, approachable take on modern Parisian style. Mattiussi, a former menswear designer at Dior, Givenchy, and Marc Jacobs, launched AMI with the mission of creating perfectly realized, real-world wardrobe essentials for friends. The brand has since expanded into women’s wear and opened flagship boutiques worldwide, earning a devoted following for its quietly confident blend of tailoring, workwear, and romantic French sensibility.
