          Nordstrom Agrees to Sell Faconnable for $210 Million

SEATTLE - July 26, 2007 - Nordstrom announced today that it has reached
agreement to sell Faconnable, a wholly owned subsidiary, to M1 Group (M1) --
a family-owned company based in Lebanon engaged in a number of diverse
business activities including telecom, airlines, energy and real estate
sectors, for $210 million, pending customary closing conditions. All
operations of Faconnable will transition to M1, including design, production,
licensing, distribution and operations of the four U.S. and 37 European
Faconnable boutiques. As part of the agreement, Nordstrom will continue to
buy Faconnable merchandise at historical levels for at least the next three
years and will continue to offer Faconnable in Nordstrom stores. The
transaction is expected to close at the end of August.

"We believe this transaction is in the best interest of our company, our
shareholders, our customers and Faconnable," said Blake Nordstrom, president
of Nordstrom, Inc. "The Faconnable brand has been very successful for
Nordstrom. Over the last 19 years our company has played a pivotal role in
the development and success of this unique line, which has become one of our
top-selling brands. This move allows Nordstrom to focus on its core business
while continuing to offer the Faconnable brand to our customers and allows
Faconnable the opportunity to grow independently."

M1 has advised Nordstrom and Faconnable that U.S. and Nice-based Faconnable
employees will be offered positions by M1 following the close of the
transaction. A number of U.S. based Faconnable employees will remain with
Nordstrom for approximately 12 months to provide transition services.
Nordstrom will be reimbursed during this period for the services provided.
Nordstrom will also incur other standard transaction related costs.

In 2000, Nordstrom acquired Faconnable, S.A.S., for a total consideration of
$169 million. Faconnable is a collection of high-quality men's and women's
apparel and accessories established in 1950 in Nice, France. The line has
been sold in the U.S. at Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom-operated Faconnable
boutiques since 1989, where it became one of the company's top-selling
brands. Nordstrom currently operates four U.S. and 37 European Faconnable
boutiques. The brand is also sold in upscale multi-brand boutiques,
department stores, and franchised boutiques throughout Europe, the Middle
East, Canada and Latin America.

Dresdner Kleinwort Securities LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Lane Powell PC
served as advisors to Nordstrom in this transaction. HSBC, LeBoeuf, Lamb,
Greene & MacRae LLP, Ernst & Young, and Robert Burke Associates served as
advisors to M1.

Azmi Mikati, chief executive of M1 Group, commented on the Faconnable deal,
"We are delighted to have acquired Faconnable. We believe it is a high
potential brand and we intend to invest in it for the long term to break into
new markets and new product lines. Faconnable represents for us the
cornerstone in the development of our strategy aimed at investing in luxury
products with a big potential for growth. To assist us in fulfilling this, we

look forward to working with the existing management team based in
Faconnable's headquarters in Nice, in the South of France."

M1 has been actively pursuing a luxury apparel and accessories brand among
other sectors as part of a long-term development strategy. M1 believes that
Faconnable has a unique French heritage which portrays superior quality,
refined craftsmanship and trendsetting skills. M1 views Faconnable as having
the potential to become a global brand, and the group has the capability and
plans to effectively enable global brand growth.
