Meet the Maker
Lisa Lipman is the founder of Lost Manly and a fourth-generation Manly local (Freshwater / Harbord). Now living in Norway, Lisa researches, restores and shares the visual and social history of Sydney’s Northern Beaches. A lifelong genealogist and local history enthusiast, her work focuses on preserving everyday photographs, stories and memories so they are not lost to time.
From time to time, a small selection of these restored images becomes prints, calendars or keepsakes — simply to support the ongoing archival work behind Lost Manly.

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

Review done twice but lost so letting all know all's great with my last 3 orders rec'd. Lynne-Barbara
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.
