I've seen two (yellow) shoulder bags now, with the motif 'Sieze the day" in gothic writing. Am I missing the point here or is someone marketing misspelled merchandise?

You're right, it should be "carpe diem".

What Folk band?

I guess this transposes and translates as Crape Diem

I saw one of those 'Sieze the day' rucksacks at half price on the market.
I nearly bought it as an impulse purchase, but then decided to go home and think about first.
