Livia Firth: Red-carpet royalty Livia Firth reopens shop for pal (THIS IS DERBYSHIRE)



AMONG the people who turned out to toast Carry Somers' success at the re-launch of her specialist hat shop in Ashbourne was the woman who has "turned the red carpet green", writes Kate Burnett.

Livia Firth, wife of Oscar-winning-actor Colin Firth, came to show her support to Carry at Pachacuti.They met at the Observer Ethical Awards three years ago and Livia says she is now wears Pachacuti Panama hat all summer.

She was clearly delighted to be there, tweeting "I'm in HEAVEN" on the website while shopping. The premises boasts ready-to-wear creations and also a bespoke area where customers can pick out their own design and trims.

All of Pachacuti's items are Fair Trade-certified, which Livia says is "what makes them so special". Adding to her collection at boutique yesterday, the Vogue fashion blogger said she already has a vast collection of hats at home, which she has been building up for the last 10 years after losing everything when moving house.

She has about 12 Pachacuti hats, and has even given one to her husband. "Colin has one of the Panamas. He's very fond of it," she said.
