Lucas’s father, the inspiration behind Lobby’s Australia – a timeless symbol of elegance, legacy and vintage style.

Lobby’s Nippers is born from a boyhood spent by the sea, following Dad around his old wooden boats, fishing from wharves and foraging along the foreshore; summers in Noosa with my Uncle Sid; fishing adventures through Australia’s north; and countless days at Bondi learning to surf, becoming a Nipper and later a lifesaver.

North Bondi and Ben Buckler became a constant, days in the sun, surfing, swimming and shooting the breeze with mates. That connection to the sea runs through my heritage too - from my mother’s Malta and my father’s Manhattan to my own Australian upbringing.

Lobby’s Nippers carries that spirit forward: childhood curiosity, adventure, mateship and the simple rituals of growing up by the water.

Girt by Sea.
