(1) Beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock referred to herein is being reported solely because Mr. Sweedler may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of such shares as a result of Mr. Sweedler holding a majority of the membership interests of Windsong. Neither the filing of this Statement on Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by Mr. Sweedler that he is the beneficial owner of any of the Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. In addition, Mr. Sweedler expressly disclaims membership in a "group," as defined in Section 13(d) of the Act.
(2) Windsong also owns a warrant to purchase up to 1,025,152 shares of Common Stock, as adjusted, at an exercise price per share of $0.58, as adjusted (the "Warrant Shares"). Such Warrant Shares are exercisable at any time beginning on the 181st day following the initial issuance date of December 19, 2006 and thus are not beneficially owned, as defined in Rule 13d-3(a), by Windsong.
(3) Based upon 41,177,801 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which number was derived by adding 34,343,454 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 19, 2006, as represented by the Issuer in the Purchase Agreement, and 6,834,347 shares of Common Stock issued and sold on December 19, 2006, as represented by the Issuer in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 26, 2006.
Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Statement on Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Innovo Group Inc. (the "Issuer"), which has its principal executive office at 5901 South Eastern Avenue, Commerce, CA 90040.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement on Schedule 13D is being filed by William Sweedler ("Mr Sweedler").
The principal business address of Mr. Sweedler is 1599 Post Road East, Westport, CT 06880.
During the last five (5) years, Mr. Sweedler has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
During the last five (5) years, Mr. Sweedler has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction resulting in 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.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are Common Stock. The source of funds for the acquisitions were funds of Windsong. On December 19, 2006, Windsong and the Issuer entered into a definitive Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2006 (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which Windsong acquired 3,417,173 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.10, in an all-cash transaction for a purchase price of $0.53 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $1,811,101.69 pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Annex I thereto and the warrant to purchase 1,025,152 of Innovo's Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share, in whole or in part, at an exercise price per share of $0.58 per share (the "Warrant Shares"), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Annex II thereto. The Warrant Shares are exercisable at any time beginning on the 181st day following the initial issuance date of December 19, 2006. The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions.
A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Mr. Sweedler considers the shares of Common Stock that he beneficially owns by holding a majority of the membership interests of Windsong an investment made in the ordinary course of its business and may, from time to time, depending on its evaluation of the market for the Common Stock, the Issuer's business and financial condition and operating results and general market and industry conditions, decide to increase or decrease his holdings of the Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, in each case, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in any other lawful manner.
Mr. Sweedler does not have any plans or proposals of the type set forth in clauses (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) and (b) The information contained on the cover pages of this Statement is incorporated herein by reference.

The Warrant Shares have not yet been purchased and can be purchased at any time beginning on the 181st day following the initial issuance date of December 19, 2006.
