Italian film producer Livia — mum to Colin’s sons Luca, 11, and nine-year-old Matteo — admitted: “With my kids’ clothes, we do a lot of hand-me-downs with friends.
“I mend. I know often it’s easier to throw away a sock with a hole and buy a new one than mend it, but I don’t do that.”
The pictures show she’s not too fussy herself. She turned up at a UK premiere a while back wearing the same dress KATE WINSLET wore on a red carpet six months earlier.
To be fair, Livia’s money-saving is not all about hanging on to the wads of cash the couple have banked — with Colin worth around £10million.
Thrifty Livia’s an eco-campaigner and Oxfam ambassador and says she sews to save the planet. She added one of her proudest recent achievements was transforming an old pair of Marni trousers from H&M into two cushions to save her buying new ones for the sofa.
It’s hard to feel sorry for the couple’s lads though.
Colin and Livia’s pals include a stack of Hollywood A-listers so it’s unlikely their recycled gear will be too shoddy.

Livia said they get to watch her do the sewing on “pyjama weekends”.
She added: “The children aren’t allowed to do any clubs.
