I love the expandable totes - great for travel and has become my everyday bag because it is so carefree.Mine is MIF. I bought the orange one 2-3 years ago and an eggplant one a year later. Corner wear, regardless of the country of manufacture, is inevitable with nylon Le Pliages, unfortunately. LC supposedly will fix corner wear but I haven’t sent any of my bags in.
I have taken long champ bags in for corner wear repair but never a Nordstrom exclusive so I’m not sure if there any any exclusions.
