AMI Paris - De Coeur Sweatshirt - Black

Virgin wool refers to wool that has not been previously processed or recycled. It's considered higher quality, softer, and more durable as the fibers are in their original, intact state.

No, the care instructions specify hand wash only. Machine washing can damage the virgin wool fibers, leading to shrinkage or loss of shape and softness.

Fold the sweatshirt neatly and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as this can cause the wool to stretch and lose its shape. Consider using cedar blocks or sachets to deter moths.

The 'Ami De Coeur' is the signature emblem of AMI Paris, featuring a heart with an 'A' inside. It symbolizes friendship and a laid-back, authentic approach to fashion, adding a distinctive brand identity to the garment.

While wool is naturally breathable and can regulate temperature, its warmth makes it more suitable for cooler to moderate climates. It can be a good layering piece in transitional weather.

If machine-washed, the garment may have shrunk or lost its shape. Try gently reshaping it while damp and laying it flat to dry. For severe damage, professional wool care may be needed, but results are not guaranteed.

Virgin wool is delicate. Ensure you are hand washing in cold water and avoiding hot water or machine washing, which can cause shrinkage. Always air dry flat, never tumble dry.

Use a wool-specific detergent which helps maintain the natural lanolin in the wool. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive agitation during washing.

Pilling is common with natural fibers. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or a de-piller. Reduce friction during wear and washing to minimize future pilling.

Always dry the sweatshirt flat to prevent stretching. Avoid hanging it, especially when wet. Reshape the garment gently while it's still damp after washing.

Wool is naturally odor-resistant. Often, simply airing the sweatshirt out in a well-ventilated area can refresh it without needing a full wash. If persistent, hand wash as instructed.
