Description
Parisian ease meets understated romance in AMI’s signature Ami de Coeur lightweight jacket — a versatile layering piece adorned with the house’s iconic heart motif.
Crafted from a featherweight nylon-laminate shell, this relaxed-fit jacket captures the effortless cool that has defined AMI Paris since its 2011 founding. The signature embroidered “Ami de Coeur” heart — meaning “friend of the heart” in French — sits proudly on the chest, serving as a quiet declaration of the label’s romantic, menswear-meets-wardrobe-essentials philosophy. A subtle nod to founder Alexandre Mattiussi’s vision of dressing real people for real life, this piece embodies the brand’s commitment to wearable luxury.
The clean, minimalist silhouette is elevated by thoughtful construction details: a stand-up collar for streamlined warmth, a full zip-front closure, and neatly piped sleeve cuffs and hem that create a clean, bomber-inspired profile without bulk. Side zip pockets offer functional refinement, while the lightweight, slightly padded interior provides just enough insulation for transitional weather. The relaxed fit through the body allows for comfortable layering over knitwear or sweatshirts, making it a go-to across seasons.
Designed in Paris and produced with meticulous attention to finish, this jacket reflects the brand’s reputation for accessible sophistication — a piece that reads as effortlessly polished whether paired with tailored trousers or weekend denim.

Styling
Layer over an AMI Paris crewneck sweatshirt and straight-leg indigo denim with low-top leather sneakers for a quintessential Parisian off-duty look. For an elevated evening ensemble, pair it with a fine merino turtleneck, tailored wool trousers, and minimalist derbies — the jacket’s clean lines and signature heart motif add just the right amount of personality to otherwise refined pieces.
Brand Heritage
Founded in 2011 by French designer Alexandre Mattiussi, AMI Paris was born from the desire to create contemporary, wearable menswear (and later womenswear) rooted in genuine Parisian spirit. The name “AMI” — meaning “friend” in French — reflects Mattiussi’s approach to dressing people he knows, with pieces that feel personal, relaxed, and authentic. Within its first few years, the brand was honoured with the prestigious ANDAM Prize and LVMH Prize, cementing its place among the most respected independent Parisian labels of its generation.
