Ami Paris: the premium French wardrobe signed with a heart

The Ami Paris collection at MTHOR Shop brings together the most sought-after pieces from the house founded by Alexandre Mattiussi: Ami de Cœur sweaters, sweatshirts, hoodies, polos and t-shirts, every one of them authenticated by our team of experts before shipping. Founded in 2011, Ami Paris has become the French label for wearable luxury: precise cuts, noble materials (cotton fleece, merino wool) and a signature you can spot from across the room, the small red heart topped with an A embroidered on the chest. Where streetwear shouts with loud logos, Ami offers a quiet Parisian elegance that carries through the seasons without going out of style. MTHOR Shop, a French authenticated-resale boutique, hand-picks the iconic colourways for you (black, navy, white, cream, green, sky blue) as well as rarer editions such as the Place des Victoires t-shirt or the two-tone zip hoodies, with worldwide delivery in 2 to 8 days against signature, customs fees included, and payment in 4 interest-free instalments. Whether you are looking for an Ami Paris men's sweater, an Ami Paris women's sweatshirt or an Ami de Cœur t-shirt to give as a gift, this page gathers the references available right now.

The story of an icon: Alexandre Mattiussi and the birth of Ami

Ami Paris was founded in 2011 by French designer Alexandre Mattiussi, born in 1980, trained at the École Duperré and shaped by the studios of Dior, Givenchy and Marc Jacobs before launching his own house. The name AMI combines his initials (Alexandre Mattiussi) with the French word for "friend": the founding idea was to design clothes the designer himself would want to wear and give to his friends, far from the conceptual fashion he had known at the major houses. The first collection, presented for Autumn-Winter 2011, focused on impeccably cut menswear basics, and the first store opened in 2012 on rue de Grenelle in Paris. In 2013, Alexandre Mattiussi won the ANDAM prize, the most prestigious award in French fashion, which accelerated the brand's international growth. The decisive turning point came in 2018 with the launch of the Ami de Cœur logo: a red heart crowned with an A, embroidered on the chest of sweaters and t-shirts. The house then set up its headquarters and flagship store on place des Victoires, in the 2nd arrondissement, an address that went on to give its name to a t-shirt capsule.

Since then, Ami Paris has grown from a niche Parisian label into a global player in accessible luxury, with stores in Paris (Marais, Saint-Germain, place des Victoires), London, Tokyo, Shanghai and Seoul, and a presence in department stores such as Galeries Lafayette. The Ami de Cœur sweater is now one of the most searched-for garments on Google in France, worn by celebrities and fashion enthusiasts alike who want a recognisable luxury piece without ostentation.

The Ami de Cœur logo: what does it mean and how do you recognise it?

The Ami de Cœur logo is a red heart topped with the letter A, embroidered (never printed) on the left chest of Ami Paris pieces since 2018. The heart symbolises the friendship and affection that give the brand its name, while the A refers to Alexandre, its founder. Technically, the embroidery is worked in dense thread on a cotton or wool base, with a clean outline and even fill: the heart measures around 3 cm high on t-shirts and sweaters, and the A sits above it, centred, with a thin horizontal bar. The colour variants follow a code: a red heart on black, navy or white for the classics, a tone-on-tone or black heart for the more understated editions, and 3D-embroidered versions on certain sweatshirts.

The value of Ami de Cœur pieces comes down to three things: couture-grade embroidery that survives washing without puckering, premium materials (400 g brushed cotton fleece for the hoodies, felted merino wool or "Cloudy" merino for the sweaters, cotton piqué for the polos) and a straight, slightly relaxed cut that suits men and women equally well, which explains the success of Ami Paris men's and women's sweaters on the secondary market.

The iconic pieces of the Ami Paris collection

The most sought-after pieces in the Ami Paris collection are the Ami de Cœur merino wool sweater, the Ami de Cœur cotton hoodie, the crewneck sweatshirt and the Ami de Cœur t-shirt. At MTHOR Shop you will find the Ami de Cœur t-shirts in black, white, navy, cream and beige, with a red, white or black heart depending on the edition, as well as the Place des Victoires capsule in cream and black. On the sweatshirt side, the collection covers the Ami de Cœur sweatshirt in black, navy, green, sky blue and beige with a red patch, right up to the black sweatshirt with a 3D embroidered heart. The Ami Paris hoodies come in black, navy, green, purple, sky blue and sun yellow, and the two-tone zip hoodies (black and sky blue, black and bronze, red and blue, red and black) rank among the models most prized by collectors. The Ami de Cœur cotton piqué polos (black with a red heart, white with a black or red heart, navy, sky blue) round out the wardrobe for mid-season. Finally, the Ami de Cœur sweaters in felted merino wool and in Earl Grey or Ivory "Cloudy" wool represent the top of the range, with resale prices that regularly exceed €550 for sold-out colourways. Price-wise, expect to pay at MTHOR Shop from €99 for an Ami de Cœur t-shirt, €125 for a polo, €195 for a hoodie and €230 for a two-tone zip hoodie, noticeably less than the boutique prices seen in 2026 for pieces that are new, inspected and delivered sealed. Stock changes every week as new arrivals come in; the classic black and navy colourways remain the most widely available, while seasonal editions sell out within days.

FAQ — Ami Paris at MTHOR

How do you verify the authenticity of an Ami Paris sweater or t-shirt?

At MTHOR, every Ami Paris piece is individually inspected before shipping by our team of experts: consistency of the composition and size labels, quality of the Ami de Cœur embroidery (clean outline, dense thread, no pulled threads), material and smell, stitching and shape, accessories and hang tags, with a pass under a UV lamp or microscope for the most in-depth checks. The piece is then shipped with an MTHOR seal. Discover our authentication process in detail.

Which size should I choose for an Ami Paris sweater or hoodie?

Ami Paris pieces run true to size with a straight, slightly relaxed cut: take your usual size for a classic fit. Cotton fleece hoodies and sweatshirts are a little roomier than the t-shirts; if you are torn between two sizes and want an oversized look, go one size up. The merino wool sweaters have a slimmer fit through the shoulders and a slightly higher neckline. Every MTHOR product page lists the available sizes from XS to XXXL.
