Men’s accessories is one of the fastest growing segments as men are putting more effort into their appearance. They increasingly care about how they look and what they put in their body more and more, a trend that will continue for years to come.
With men using more grooming products than they ever have, we chat to Tooletries co-founder Josh Cockburn on page 4 about this growing industry in this month’s digital magazine, The Man Issue.
We also chat to Johann Kim, founder of retailer Pigeonhole. Kim has always been entrepreneurial and innovative, no matter what challenges life throws at him. At the end of March, beginning of April he had to (temporarily) close down all his 10 stores during the Covid-19 crisis and go from a team of 65 to 15.
However, where (literally) one door closes another one opens and soon Kim launched his new venture, Hello Houseplant. Read more about his inspirational story on page 16.
Additionally, on page 32 we feature Rick Fenny, a vet, a property developer, a reality TV star in the new series Desert Vet, a businessman and an entrepreneur.
According to a 2018 report by the Commonwealth Bank, Australians spend $1.58 billion in the lead up to Father’s Day versus just $1.37 billion spent on Mother’s Day.
