Amendment Description	EXPLANATORY NOTE Swank, Inc. (the "Company") is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K (this "Form 10-K/A") to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 30, 2012 (the "Original Form 10-K"). This Form 10-K/A is being filed solely to correct inadvertent mathematical errors in the table contained in Footnote H--Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Financial Statements relating to future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2011. No changes are being made to, and the corrections in Footnote H do not in any manner affect, the Company's Balance Sheets, Statements of Income, Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity and Comprehensive Income (loss), Statements of Cash Flows, the other Notes to Financial Statements, or Financial Statement Schedule II filed with the Original Form 10-K. Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires that this Form 10-K/A include as exhibits the certifications required of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Company is also including certifications under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K or modify or update any disclosures affected by subsequent events. Except as noted above, this Form 10-K/A continues to speak as of the date of the Original Form 10-K, and does not modify, amend or update in any way any other item or disclosures in the Original Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and the Company's other filings made with the SEC.
