Paris designer label known for its heart logo, selling men's and women's wear.
There's no proof AMI Paris pays more than the legal minimum, which in Bulgaria is below a living wage, and it has no full independent audit.
Better-graded everyday fashion
Graded higher than AMI Paris, selling the same kinds of things. Second-hand first.

Why it's graded Lacks transparency
- Not met: Meets 1 of 6 Good requirements.
- Holds the grade back: It has 2 red flags: no evidence of a living wage and a hidden, unaudited supply chain in high-risk countries. Two or more red flags means a poor grade.
- It isn't Harm on record, because there's no serious confirmed problem on its record.
- Lacks transparency is still a poor grade: in supply chains like this, workers who can't be seen to be treated fairly are usually underpaid or unprotected.

Evidence
What we found
- Doesn't show where its cotton comes from. Cotton is linked to forced labour in Xinjiang and Turkmenistan, and child labour in several growing regions, so it can't be graded Good until it traces or certifies it.
- Uses leather in only a few products and doesn't show where it comes from. That doesn't count against it for Good, but the "Open supply chain" star needs all of it traced, certified or upcycled.
Research notes AMI Paris publishes no factory list, no country breakdown and no modern slavery or human rights report. Its per-product traceability pages name the country of each main stage: one shirt made in Bulgaria from fabric woven in China and dyed in Italy, another item made entirely in Portugal; retail listings also show items made in Portugal. Good On You found it traces only some suppliers, with no evidence of a supplier code, audits of most suppliers or a living wage commitment. No labour abuses linked to its suppliers have been reported.
