Nordstrom near deal to sell Faconnable-report

(Reuters) - Bids for the unit came in around $200 million, less than the $350 million Nordstrom paid for Faconnable in 2006, the Post said, citing sources. VF Corp. and Iconix Brand Group Inc. had looked at the brand but dropped out of the bidding, it added.

Nordstrom shares closed on Wednesday at $50.85. A spokesman was not immediately available to comment on the report.
