The Orange Signals Caution

— Tue, 23rd September 2008 —

Hermes, the son of Zeus in Greek mythology, was known for leading men astray. Consider this before venturing to the Hermès sample sale beginning Wednesday and continuing through the end of the week. Little is known about the quality of the offerings, particularly for the men. That’s why we plan on getting there early and reporting back to you as soon is humanly possible. 

Hermès sale – Metropolitan Pavilion – 125 W 18th St nr 6th Ave, 4h fl – 212-463-0071 – Wed-Fri–Sat 10am-6pm, Thurs 10am-8pm, Sun 1pm-6pm – Map

This is big — and, again, perfect grist for this perfect first day of autumn. Refinery29 brings word that Brooklyn’s A.P.C. Surplus Store has JUST received new shipments of cold weather staples, i.e., up to 50% off already discounted fall/winter ’07 jackets, pea coats, SHOES, boots, and more.

We’re talking men’s Gabordine trench coats now priced at just $213. Remember, though, that the Surplus Store doesn’t begin its week until Wednesday at 1 in the afternoon.

A.P.C. surplus store – 35 Grand St between Kent Ave & Wythe St – Wed-Fri – 1pm-7pm – 347-381-3193 – Map

We guarantee that the offerings will represent the height of relevance, today… if you’re into that sort of thing. The Beggar has your invite to the member’s-only site HERE.
