The deeper into sample sale season we get, the more we'll hear about heavy-hitter designer discounts. The next one you can mark your calendars for is 3.1 Phillip Lim, whose sale will run from Tuesday, May 19th through the 22nd with men's and women's apparel, shoes, and accessories from recent collections.

The brand has shifted sample sale hosting responsibilities to 260 Sample Sale and will be held at 151 Wooster Street—so not far from their former store space where last fall's sale took place. Not surprisingly, handbags ranging in price from $200 to $400 were most popular, followed by shoes at a flat $100. Apparel samples were aplenty on the racks, but you'd be hard-pressed to find something for less than $150. It's unclear whether this sale will have similar prices.

Plus, there's the added bonus that what you'll be buying supports a good cause: A percentage of the sale's proceeds will go to the Red Cross and its efforts to help victims of the recent earthquake in Nepal. See the Dealfeed below for the sale's full hours.
