Explanation of Responses:

Remarks:
The purpose of this amendment is to correct certain inadvertent errors contained in the original Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 1, 2011. (1) As previously reported on Cherokee Inc.'s ("Cherokee") Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed with the SEC on January 31, 2011, Robert Margolis resigned his positions as Executive Chairman and as a director of Cherokee on January 28, 2011. In connection with Mr. Margolis' resignation, Mr. Margolis and Cherokee entered into a Separation Agreement ("Separation Agreement"). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Cherokee or its designees agreed to purchase from Mr. Margolis or his assigns a total of 460,000 shares of Cherokee's Common Stock at a per share price of $18.15. Accordingly, on February 7, 2011, (i) The Robert Margolis Living Trust dtd 4/6/94, of which Mr. Margolis is the trustee, sold to Cherokee 90,000 shares of its Common Stock, (ii) BMAC Enterprises, LP, of which Robert Margolis is the general partner, sold to Cherokee 160,000 shares of its Common Stock, (iii) The Newstar Group Inc., dba The Wilstar Group sold to Cherokee 135,000 shares of its Common Stock and (iv) The Robert Margolis Foundation ("Foundation"), of which Mr. Margolis does not have a pecuniary interest and expressly disclaims beneficial ownership, sold to Cherokee 15,000 shares of its Common Stock. In addition, and pursuant to the Separation Agreement (i) on February 7, 2011, the Foundation sold 50,000 shares of Cherokee's Common Stock to Cherokee's chairman, Jess Ravich and (ii) on February 17, 2011, the Foundation sold 10,000 shares of Cherokee's Common Stock to Cherokee's CEO, Henry Stupp. In addition, pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Margolis' outstanding option to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Cherokee's Common Stock became fully vested and exercisable. Following such transactions, Mr. Margolis beneficially owns a total of 493,087 shares of Cherokee's Common Stock.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
