It's becoming increasingly clear that we were never meant to know about the Paul Smith sale currently taking place at 142 Greene Street. Over on the Choosy Beggar, readers are discussing ways to sneak in, and while we certainly don't advocate harassing the good people at Paul Smith, we do think this commenter has a point: "Uhhh. Go and walk right in as if you work above the Paul Smith showroom. The minute you show hesitation, they're not letting you in. Ask an employee in the store, and they'll act as if there is no sale happening on the 2nd floor, where almost everything is 80% off. 'What sale?'" [TCB; Previously]
