Prestige Limited a été formé en 1922 par George Foletta pour fabriquer de la lingerie de soie .
La société avait acquis Atlas Knitting et Spinning Mills Pty Ltd qui avait été créée en 1920 et a produit "Prestige hosiery" à partir de 1921. Prestige Limited a fusionné avec Holeproof Hosiery Company (Australie) Pty Ltd en 1964. Les deux ont été pris en charge par Pacific Dunlop en 1968. Le nom de Prestige a été abandonné en 1978/79.
George Gotardo Foletta (1892-1973), fabricant de lingerie et de tricot, est né le 30 janvier 1892 à Northcote, Melbourne, le fils aîné des parents nés à l'époque, Henry Gotardo Foletta, un maçon d'élite suisse et sa femme Gertrude, née Bright. Henry a réparé les fortunes ravagées par la dépression de sa famille en commençant une agence de courtage de marchandises de grande valeur ... George a persuadé le conseil démoralisé de se restructurer autour d'une politique de marketing de première qualité. En 1924, lorsque George A. Bond & Co. Ltd (Sydney) a été liquidé, Prestige était à nouveau dans le noir.
Dès lors, la société est devenue la première tricoteuse australienne à fabriquer des bas de soie fully fashioned, vendant les meilleures marques importées et imposant la domination de Prestige sur le marché local de la lingerie.

Avec l'arrivée du britannique Leslie Gough, en 1926, Prestige est entré dans sa période de plus grande expansion. En 1933, il faisait son propre fil de soie, s'était diversifié en lingerie et a commencé ses affaires en Nouvelle-Zélande.
Prestige Limited was formed in 1922 by George Foletta to manufacture fine silken hosiery.
The company had acquired the Atlas Knitting and Spinning Mills Pty Ltd which had been established in 1920 and produced "Prestige hosiery" from 1921. Prestige Limited merged with Holeproof Hosiery Company (Australia) Pty Ltd in 1964. Both were taken over by Pacific Dunlop in 1968. The Prestige name was dropped in 1978/79.
George Gotardo Foletta (1892-1973), hosiery and knitwear manufacturer, was born on 30 January 1892 at Northcote, Melbourne, eldest son of Victorian-born parents Henry Gotardo Foletta, a stonemason of Swiss extraction, and his wife Gertrude, née Bright. Henry repaired the depression-ravaged fortunes of his family by starting a successful fancy goods commission-agency.....George persuaded the demoralized board to restructure around a quality-first marketing policy. By 1924, when George A. Bond & Co. Ltd ( Sydney) was liquidated, Prestige was back in the black.
About this time the company became the first Australian knitter to make fully-fashioned silk stockings, outselling the best imported brands and giving Prestige dominance of the local hosiery market. With the arrival of British-trained Leslie Gough in 1926, Prestige entered its period of greatest expansion. By 1933 it was spinning its own silk yarn, had diversified into lingerie and commenced business in New Zealand
