Shop AMI Paris France.
Deliver it to USA.

amiparis.com/fr is the house's own home-market store, founded by Alexandre Mattiussi in 2011 ("Ami" means friend, and the initials are his). That means the FR site carries the complete catalogue — the full Ami de Coeur heart-logo range, earlier seasonal drops and EU/region-exclusive colourways that reach US multibrand stockists like Saks, SSENSE, Farfetch and END in a thinner edit, later, or never. Buying direct from the house also skips the markup those third-party retailers add.

The reason to forward is access and home-market euro pricing. AMI ties currency and pricing to the shipping country, so the FR site prices everything in euros at home-market levels, with France's 20% VAT already included. The signature Ami de Coeur cotton t-shirt runs roughly EUR 135-180 on amiparis.com/fr; the same classic tee sits around $135-195 on the US market. Some pieces come out a little cheaper bought at home, but the bigger draw is the complete range and the EU-exclusive colourways US stockists rarely carry — shipped to your US door even though the FR site checks out in euros.

AMI labels garments in EU numeric sizing (36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46) rather than XS-XL, which trips up US shoppers. The clean conversion is 36=XS, 38=S, 40=M, 42=L, 44=XL, 46=XXL — match the EU number, not the letter you'd expect from a US brand. Fit is generally true to size on shirts and tailored pieces (take your normal size), and blazers and jackets are a classic cut with room to layer, so again take your normal size.

Two categories run differently. Knit sweaters and cardigans are cut unisex, so women are advised to size down one. And the Ami de Coeur t-shirts have a boxy cut, so if you're between sizes, size down. Because returns from the US are effectively final (see the returns section), order by your known EU number and lean on the boxy/unisex notes to get the fit right the first time.

When you buy from AMI France and forward to the USA, your shipping cost tracks weight, so knowing how AMI pieces add up is the fastest way to predict your bill. Most AMI apparel ships light: an Ami de Coeur cotton t-shirt is about 0.2-0.3 kg, a polo or shirt 0.3-0.4 kg, a cotton sweatshirt or hoodie 0.5-0.8 kg, and a knit sweater 0.4-0.7 kg. A typical 2-3 piece order — say a couple of tees and a sweatshirt — lands around 0.8-1.5 kg, which sits at the affordable end of any forwarding quote.

Couriers bill the higher of actual weight versus volumetric (dimensional) weight, so the items to watch are the bulky ones: a tailored blazer (0.8-1.2 kg on the scale, more by volume) and the nylon tote bag or backpack (0.5-1.0 kg, but boxed and awkward). Flat, dense pieces like tees and knits bill close to their real weight; allow extra for AMI's branded boxes and dust bags on bags and tailoring.

AMI gives you 14 days from receipt to return, with refunds processed within 14 days to the original payment method after a warehouse quality check. Items must be unworn, unwashed and tagged (accessories in their original box); personalised items, swimwear and underwear are non-returnable, and online orders can't be returned to AMI stores, concessions or outlets.

The practical problem for a US buyer: AMI's return flow is built around a prepaid label and drop-off at a French/European post office or partner (Colissimo/DHL within Europe), and your FR order is registered to an EU address. Returning from the US directly isn't straightforward — you'd typically ship the item back to your EU forwarding address yourself, at your own cost and time, and the 14-day clock starts at EU delivery, not when it reaches you in the US. Treat purchases as effectively final and lean on the EU-to-US size conversion to get the fit right the first time.
