Default Knockoff Fabrics?

I just made my confession in the Fabric Moratorium thread that I found myself unintentionally buying three smallish pieces of fabric today that I did not need. /sigh
However, when I got home, I tossed the fabrics in the wash and when I was ironing them I noticed the selvedge label on one of them: "APLLE PLAID - "PAST & PRESENTS" FOR DAISY KINDOM". I've included a picture below. I wonder, is it possible I've bought a knock-off fabric? It feels about the same as some other fabrics from that era in my stash that I know I bought new so that's not really telling me anything. I haven't looked too deeply online, but I haven't found anything that talks about this issue. Is it an issue in the quilting world?

I don’t think it’s a knock off as 1995 seems about right for that fabric.

Daisy Kingdom was a very popular fabric line around the same era as Debbie Mumm. Most quilter had or still has some fabric from those lines.

It could be a knock off or just some left over from that time. I too recently bought some knock offs accidently. I realized the weave was off when I got it home. My buy for the year.

If I can find the time to potentially go through all of my stash, I think there's a good chance I have some more Daisy Kingdom somewhere in there that I can compare it to. The fabric, as I say, seems fine, quality-wise, so maybe it _is_ just a misspelling.

I'd be suspicious too, but since Daisy Kingdom doesn't exist anymore, I don't think they're being harmed. Not much you can do about it, may as well use the fabric.

seems odd that someone would go to the trouble of counterfeiting fabric like it was a Rolex watch! I remember that fabric too.

I think it looks original. Especially if you bought this fabric at a thrift store. I find stuff like that all the time. Lots of V.I.P. Cranston and Joan Kessler.
