Vanessa Hudgens doesn’t only share the same taste in handbags with Ashley Tisdale, she also shares it with another one of her BFFs Brittany Snow.

Fellow actresses Vanessa and Brittany were spotted in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon, slipping in some much needed girl time into their busy schedules:

Looks like the reigning queen of fringe purses Vanessa Hudgens has turned Brittany Snow on to her favorite handbag style! These two could trade purses with each other and still have perfectly matched outfits. I wonder if having the same taste in fashion was the reason these two became good friends in the first place?

Anyway, after going through all the pictures in this set, I’ve finally settled on the maker/brand of Brittany Snow’s brown fringe handbag. It’s the Austin Fringed Bag from SL McFadin available at Free People, shown here in golden brown:

The studded side of the vintage belt strap on Brittany Snow’s bag is flipped over, but you can see a bit of it here in this close-up shot:

I think it’s amazing that Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens have remained really good friends even though “High School Musical” ended a long time ago. Such good friends in fact, that they don’t even mind having nearly the same Cleobella fringe handbag!

Here’s Ashley Tisdale’s Cleobella which she paired with a cute western-inspired outfit:

And here’s Vanessa Hudgens’ Cleobella, which she used for a retail therapy session in May:

Here are their Cleobella fringe handbags side by side:

Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens love Cleobella bags

You can see that the only difference is the front of Ashley’s bag is studded while Vanessa’s has an ikat print. But even that print is present on Ashley’s bag, only transfered to the inside to serve as lining.

Ashley Tisdale’s bag is the Cleobella Zula. Vanessa Hudgens’s bag is the Cleobella Daniella. Vanessa Hudgens’s bag is currently unavailable at FreePeople.com (check back from time to time, they’re offering a good sale price on it and they might restock soon) but you can get Ashley’s Cleobella Zula Bag for $310.00 at Shopbop.com.
