Disney darling Vanessa Hudgens has a new fringe crossbody favorite; she was spotted toting the fresh baby several times last month. Check out these pictures:

I have a very strong feeling that V’s new fringe crossbody is a Cleobella creation. It is very similar to the Cleobella Zula Fringe Bag, which is available at Shopbop.com for US$310:

But unlike the Cleobella Zula which features a studded front patch, the one on Vanessa has a colorful patterned patch.

Here’s a closer look:

I couldn’t help but investigate. First stop was the Cleobella website. I did not find the exact same bag, but I did find a tote with a pattern very close to V’s.

By some sheer luck, I came across Freepeople.com, which offers the Cleobella Daniella Clutch. Boy was I overjoyed to find that it is the same patterned front patch style as Vanessa’s fringe purse. They have it in Black Fringe and Brown Fringe.

As it turns out, the pattern on the front patch varies from bag to bag – part of its hand made and organic quality (ergo, it’s eco friendly).

An image of a model carrying almost the exact same purse as Vanessa’s was the final giveaway that she was indeed carrying the Cleobella Daniella.

So there you have it. Vanessa Hudgens’ crossbody is a Cleobella, but it is not the Zula Fringe Bag; it’s the Daniella Clutch. If you want it, you’re in luck because Freepeople.com is offering it at a discounted price of US$200. But if you prefer the studded Zula, simply visit Shopbop.com.
