FAQs

What does 'Ami de Cœur' mean?

'Ami de Cœur' is French for 'friend of the heart.' It represents the brand's signature motif, a symbol of friendship and love, often seen as a heart topped with an 'A' for Ami.

Is this cardigan suitable for both men and women?

Yes, this cardigan features a unisex design, crafted to be worn by anyone, regardless of gender. Its relaxed fit and classic style make it a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

What is 'virgin wool'?

Virgin wool refers to wool that has never been processed or woven before. It's considered to be of higher quality because its fibers are stronger and more resilient, providing better softness, warmth, and durability compared to recycled or reprocessed wool.

Can I machine wash this cardigan?

No, the care instructions specify 'hand wash low' or 'dry clean.' Machine washing, even on a wool cycle, can damage the delicate virgin wool fibers, causing shrinkage or distortion. Always follow the recommended care methods.

How should I store my wool cardigan?

To prevent stretching and maintain its shape, always store your wool cardigan folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging it for extended periods, especially on thin hangers, as this can cause permanent shoulder distortion.

Is this cardigan warm enough for winter?

Yes, 100% virgin wool is an excellent insulator, providing substantial warmth. It's well-suited as a layering piece during colder months or as a standalone outer layer in milder conditions.

Troubleshooting

Cardigan feels itchy or rough

While virgin wool is generally soft, individual sensitivity varies. Ensure it has been properly washed or dry cleaned as per instructions. Some users find wearing a long-sleeved base layer helps.

Pilling has occurred on the fabric

Pilling is natural for wool. Use a specialized fabric shaver or a wool comb to gently remove the pills. Prevent future pilling by following care instructions and minimizing friction where possible.

Cardigan has stretched out of shape

This often happens from hanging or improper drying. Always dry flat and store folded. If already stretched, a gentle hand wash (if permitted) and careful reshaping while drying flat might help it regain some shape.

Foul odor despite being clean

Wool naturally resists odors, but if an odor persists, ensure the garment is thoroughly dry before storing. Airing it out in a well-ventilated area for a few hours can often resolve this. For stubborn odors, professional dry cleaning is best.

Stains on the wool

Address stains immediately. For minor stains, gently blot with a damp cloth (cold water) and mild wool detergent. Avoid rubbing. For significant or oil-based stains, professional dry cleaning is recommended as soon as possible.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maintain the quality, shape, and longevity of your 100% virgin wool cardigan. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions.

  • Hand Wash Low: If hand washing, use cool or lukewarm water (low temperature) with a mild wool-specific detergent. Gently squeeze the water through the fabric; do not wring or twist. Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all detergent is removed.
  • Dry Clean Recommended: For best results and to preserve the garment's structure, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.
  • Drying: After washing, gently press out excess water without twisting. Lay the cardigan flat on a clean towel in its natural shape. Reshape it if necessary. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not hang dry, as this can cause stretching and distortion.
  • Storage: Store your cardigan folded in a drawer or on a shelf to prevent stretching, especially at the shoulders. Avoid hanging it for prolonged periods.
  • Pilling: Wool garments can naturally pill over time, especially in areas of high friction. Use a fabric shaver or a specialized wool comb to gently remove pills.
