          This Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of Value Partners, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership ("Value Partners"), Ewing & Partners, a Texas general partnership ("Ewing & Partners"), and Timothy G. Ewing ("Ewing"), the managing general partner of Ewing & Partners, as an amendment to the Statement on Schedule 13D, relating to shares of common stock, par value $.02 per share ("Common Stock"), of Cherokee, Inc. (the "Issuer"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 6, 1995, and as amended from time to time since such date to the date hereof (the "Statement"). The Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 2 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

           (a)-(c)           This statement is filed on behalf of Value Partners, Ewing & Partners (formerly known as Fisher Ewing Partners) and Ewing. Ewing & Partners is the general partner of Value Partners. Ewing and Ewing Asset Management, Inc., a Texas limited liability company ("EAM"), are the general partners of Ewing & Partners, and Ewing is the managing general partner of Ewing & Partners. EAM is controlled by Ewing. The principal place of business for Value Partners, Ewing & Partners, EAM and Ewing is: c/o Ewing & Partners, Suite 808, 4514 Cole Avenue, Dallas, Texas, 75205.

          The present principal occupation or employment of Ewing is managing general partner of Ewing & Partners. The principal business of EAM is acting as a general partner of Ewing & Partners. The principal business of Value Partners is the investment in and trading of capital stocks, warrants, bonds, notes, debentures and other securities.

           (d)           None of Value Partners, Ewing & Partners, EAM or Ewing, during the last five years, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

           (e)           None of Value Partners, Ewing & Partners, EAM or Ewing has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

           (f)           Ewing is a citizen of the United States of America.

Item 4 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

          As of the date hereof, Value Partners beneficially owns 2,028,169 shares of Common Stock. Value Partners has acquired all 2,028,169 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it solely for investment purposes. Depending on its evaluation of the Issuer, other investment opportunities, market conditions, and such other factors as it may deem material, Value Partners may seek to acquire additional shares of Common Stock in the open market, in private transactions, or otherwise, or may dispose of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock owned by it.

          Ewing acquired the 24,077 shares of Common Stock owned directly by him solely for his personal investment purposes. On June 14, 1999, Mr. Ewing was granted options from the Issuer to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $8.00 per share. These options are immediately exercisable and will expire June 14, 2009. Thus, Ewing beneficially owns 29,077 shares of Common Stock. Depending on his evaluation of the Issuer, other investment opportunities, market conditions, and such other factors as it may deem material, Ewing may seek to acquire additional shares of Common Stock in the open market, in private transactions, or otherwise, or may dispose of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock owned by him.

Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

           (a)          As of the date hereof, Value Partners beneficially owns 2,028,169 shares of Common Stock, which represents 23.9% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock, which such percentage was calculated by dividing (i) 2,028,169 shares of Common Stock by (ii) 8,480,705 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 14, 2000, based upon the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K405 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2000. As of the date hereof, Ewing beneficially owns 29,077 shares of Common Stock, which represents 0.3% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock.

           (b)          Value Partners has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 2,028,169 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it. However, Ewing & Partners, as general partner of Value Partners, may direct the vote and disposition of the 2,028,169 shares of Common Stock owned by Value Partners. Similarly, Ewing, as managing general partner of Ewing & Partners, may direct the vote and disposition of the 2,028,169 shares of Common Stock owned by Value Partners. Ewing may also direct the vote and disposition of 29,077 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Ewing.

          The filing of this statement on Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that Ewing or Ewing & Partners is for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any of the 2,028,169 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Value Partners. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, Ewing and Ewing & Partners disclaim all such beneficial ownership.

           (c)          During the past 60 days, Value Partners effected the following transactions in the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market:

*Price per share includes broker's commissions.

           (d)          Ewing and Ewing & Partners may be deemed to have the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock beneficially owned by Value Partners.

           (e)          Not applicable.

          After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
