Sweet, suite, or suit?

Sign in shop window, Vancouver, BC
Back in the deep, dark, distant past I had a job buying stuff from Samsung. In those days, the late 1980s, Samsung was in the business of making men's suits in Korea. And, like most things that Samsung did, and still does, the firm did a pretty good job of making men's suits. But the lower cost of labour elsewhere, specifically China, put the Korean suit factories out of business.

But that is all by the by. My question today is who let this typo slip through. The two words are not even pronounced the same way. I can understand homonyms such as where and wear, but this is a major silly mistake.
