Description
A romantic Parisian icon reimagined in featherweight form — the Ami de Coeur, lighter than ever.
Crafted for transitional layering, this lightweight iteration of AMI Paris’s beloved Ami de Coeur jacket distills the brand’s signature romantic-meets-relaxed aesthetic into an effortlessly wearable silhouette. Founded by Alexandre Mattiussi in 2011, AMI — derived from the French word for “friend” — has become synonymous with an easy, lived-in elegance, and the heart motif that adorns this piece has become one of the label’s most recognizable signatures.
The pared-back design places the embroidered “Ami de Coeur” heart — a symbol of love and friendship central to the brand’s identity — at the chest in tonal red on a solid ground, allowing the patch to read as both declaration and detail. Cut in a contemporary regular fit with a classic shirt collar and clean front button closure, it channels the easy nonchalance that has earned AMI a devoted following among those who value considered design without pretense.
Built for versatility across seasons, this jacket bridges the gap between overshirt and light outerwear — equally at home thrown over a knit in cooler evenings or worn open over a tee in early autumn. It is a wardrobe piece designed to be lived in, loved, and returned to season after season.

Constructed from a smooth, ultra-lightweight polyamide with a soft matte finish, this fabric offers a refined hand-feel with subtle technical performance. The material drapes cleanly while remaining breathable and crease-resistant, making it an ideal transitional weight for spring, early autumn, and layering through milder winter days.
Styling
Layer over an AMI Paris cable-knit sweater and straight-leg indigo denim for a quintessentially Parisian weekend look. For an evening ensemble, wear it open over a fine merino turtleneck and tailored wool trousers — letting the embroidered heart remain the focal point. It also works effortlessly as a light top layer over a white tee and relaxed chinos.
Brand Heritage
Founded in Paris in 2011 by designer Alexandre Mattiussi, AMI Paris was born from the French word for “friend” — a name chosen to reflect the brand’s ethos of approachable, inclusive style. Mattiussi, a graduate of the Institut Français de la Mode and former designer at Dior, Givenchy, and Marc Jacobs, built AMI around the idea of dressing close friends. Since its debut, the label has earned a devoted global following for its romantic codes, including the signature “Ami de Coeur” heart, and was named a finalist for the prestigious LVMH Prize in 2014.
