The Choosy Beggar

Scratch Lugo off your shortlist of SoHo haberdasheries. The Mott Street boutique is toast, we’re sorry to report. 

Unless you’re in the neighborhood, we can’t recommend the I Heart sale — even Friday through Sunday when they’ll be taking up to 90% off past seasons’ stock. Why? There’s no stock! A half-a-rack, and a few shelves… That’s it.  
I Heart – 262 Mott St between Houston & Prince – 212-219-9265 – Thu-Sat 12pm-8pm, Sun 12pm-7pm – Map

As you can see, the men’s shoe selection at the Rachel Comey sample sale is quite limited, but it’s actually a nice mix of styles and sizes. Shoes are over 50% off at about $150 a pair; boots are about $200. If you’re not familiar, Comey is making some of the best modern men’s shoes, today, on the order of, say, Common Projects. The sale isn’t scheduled to begin until 5pm today, but we’d head over NOW.

**Update: From one reader: “13+ sizes only at 5 pm (Thursday).” That was fast!** 
 
Rachel Comey sample sale – 335 W 35th St between 8th and 9th – 3rd fl – 212-334-0470 – Thurs 5pm-8pm, Fri 10am-7pm, Sat 12pm-5pm – Map

At 12 noon today, Marc by Marc Jacobs goes on sale at Gilt.com. The Beggar has your invite to the members only site HERE.
