Master P. Makes History With Wal-Mart


By Tai Saint Louis
Master P and Romeo are out to prove their clothing line’s motto as “The Great American Brand,” by making P. Miller Designs accessible to more families.

The affordable clothing line aimed at teens and young adults will now be available at Wal-Mart stores nationwide, becoming the discount chain’s first African-American Hip-Hop supplier.

Hoping to provide an alternative to higher priced brands, P. Miller offers working class families the option of following Hip-Hop styles, for a fraction of the price.


In addition to the existing men’s line – with prices running from $9 dollars for a shirt to $20 dollars for a pair of jeans, the company will introduce a new women’s line as part of the new partnership with Wal-Mart.

Miller Peaches will consist of items retailing for no more than $10 apiece.

“We use the same factories and the same materials as Sean John, Rocawear, and Ed Hardy,” said Master P. “These are quality clothes you'd normally find at a department store like Macy's. Now you can pick up the same high-end fashion at an affordable price.

“This is the makings of a great partnership with the number-one retailer in the world,” continued the father/business impresario. “Wal-Mart is making a lot of opportunities available to minority-owned companies that are ready to do business with a big corporation. Together we’re making it cool to shop for clothes at Wal-Mart.”

As the P. Miller Designs brand continues to expand, with shoes, jewelry, fragrances and an eco-friendly organic line on the way, the company is also committed to continuing Master P’s longstanding history of community improvement and empowerment.

P. Miller Designs offers inner-city kids the chance to explore the world of fashion and design, creating jobs and opportunities those youngsters might not usually have access to.
