Accent Group co-founder Michael Hapgood lists luxury Toorak digs
A co-founder of one of the largest players in Australia's footwear market is offloading his luxury Toorak apartment. Accent Group non-executive director Michael Hapgood and his wife Catherine have listed the three-bedroom residence in a boutique Mathoura Rd complex. Mr Hapgood has overseen huge growth at the retailer which has 800 stores, including The Athlete's Foot, Platypus and Hype, and dozens of big name brands like Dr. Martens, Vans and Saucony. Block buyer's huge Melb property prediction Far from a shoebox, the couple's spacious Toorak apartment includes a private temperature controlled wine cellar and a north-facing terrace. It is one of 10 residences in an exclusive Orchard Piper development on the edge of Hawksburn Village that was crowned the HIA's best $10m-$20m apartment complex in 2021. Kay & Burton, Stonnington agent Andrew Sahhar is calling for expressions of interest in the $4m to $4.4m property by June 24. He declined to comment on the apartment's ownership but said the design was a rare collaboration between Orchard Piper and architect Stephen Jolson. 'I was involved in selling the development off the plan and Orchard Piper and Stephen do have a very strong following,' Mr Sahhar said. 'Orchard Piper do specialise in doing house-sized apartments so you traditionally pick up that person coming from a large home in Stonnington or Boroondara.' He said the apartment stood out for its north-facing aspect, which floods the central living space and bedrooms with natural light. European oak flooring, custom joinery, natural stone, and two secure car spaces with internal lift access are among premium features. Mr Sahhar said a dedicated area on the complex's ground floor with a wine cellar for each residence was a rare luxury. 'It's a very well thought out floor plan,' he said. 'Both bedrooms are main bedroom size so there are two very large bedrooms and some people want to turn the third bedroom into a study so it's versatile.'

‘Wardrobe Staple': $69 The Iconic Buy Aussies Are Frothing Over
Every so often, a piece of clothing will reach that peak cult status and be instantly recognisable whenever it's worn. The Lioness Bloom Long Sleeve Top is one such buy. In just the last week, sales have increased by a huge 410 per cent week-on-week across all colourways at THE ICONIC. Spotted on global content creators including Danielle Bernstein (WeWoreWhat), Devin Brugman, and Paige Lorenze among others, the T-shirt has well and truly reached cult status. It may look like every other striped top but it's in the little details that really make this top stand out. 'The Lioness Bloom Long Sleeve Top stands out as the perfect balance between comfort and a trend-led style,' Nicole Adolphe, Head of Style at THE ICONIC, tells checkout. 'It's a versatile wardrobe staple that feels elevated yet effortless,' she says. Plus, she points out that at just $69, it's incredibly accessible. Considering it's something shoppers will most likely wear on-repeat, the cost per wear is sure to be incredibly low.

'For those lucky enough to be heading to Europe this summer, it's the perfect lightweight layer to throw over a bikini with micro shorts and a pair of flip flops.' WHICH COLOUR SHOULD A SHOPPER BUY? Nicole says her top pick would be the beige stripe. 'This buttery tone is the newest must-have in a neutral wardrobe, and it pairs beautifully with a wide range of colours. 'The contrast between the black and beige gives it a chic, effortless feel that's eye-catching without being overpowering, making it a smart and stylish choice for the season.'
