Upscale? Really?

I thought a company claiming to be upscale shopping, Nordstrom, would actually be upscale.  My wife asked me if I could find a product for her that she was having a hard time finding that wasn't made in China.  So, I think to myself, surely Nordstrom which commands high prices would have the item not made in China.

Apparently they state items as "imported" and are careful not to say from which country.  A close-up of the item revealed the word kknekki on an L. Erickson product.  And so I searched kknekki and found them on Alibaba... you guessed it, mainland China. 

It does appear there will be a good deal of research involved to avoid funding corruption.
