Start your day with a moment of history.
This Lost Manly ceramic mug features a beautifully restored nostalgic image of the South Steyne's return to Manly in 1993 captured beautifully by Geoff Eastwood. Rich in maritime heritage and coastal storytelling, the artwork captures an era when the ferry journey to Manly was as iconic as the destination itself.
Part of the Lost Manly Mug Collection, this design celebrates the ferries, places, and everyday moments that shaped life on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Whether you’re a local, a history lover, or someone with a deep connection to Manly, this mug turns your daily coffee or tea ritual into a quiet tribute to the past.
Crafted from high-quality ceramic and finished with a durable ORCA coating, the mug delivers vibrant colour reproduction and long-lasting clarity while remaining practical for everyday use. It’s microwave-safe, dishwasher-safe, and made to be enjoyed again and again.
Perfect for home, office, beach house kitchens, or as a meaningful gift, this mug is a timeless keepsake — blending function, nostalgia, and Northern Beaches history in one beautifully usable piece.

Love my Tote bag! I get lots of comments and its a great conversation starter when I'm out and about, even where I live in Regional NSW. It's a piece of my heart from growing up in Manly. And its good quality and sturdy and very practical for shopping.
Lisa went above and beyond helping track down my wayward delivery. The service is exceptionally. She really cares about her customers.
CONGRATULATIONS with LOST MANLY

Very fast delivery, and great photos in the calendar.
Great colour, fabulous fit and feel... would highly recommend!
This is my 3rd time purchasing these T-shirts, they are great quality and very durable.. they hold their shape really well an I would definitely recommend them!! Lisa is great to deal with..
Its great. I bought it for my daughter who is an avid bushwalker. Its a surprise Christmas present so I won't know what she thinks of it until later. Anyway the colour is what I wanted, the logo perfect and the quality excellent.
