While it’s no secret that celebrities have extensive bag collections that can make any bag lover green with envy, they, too, are like us and sometimes favor one bag over the others.
Vanessa Hudgens has rotated through Givenchy totes and a range of designer crossbody bags. Recently, though, we have been seeing her out and about in LA sporting the same bag over and over again. And while it’s not a sin to do a repeat of your favorite fashion item, this is quite a rare thing in Tinseltown.

Wearing It on Repeat: Vanessa’s Bag of Choice for Casual Outings
In March 2014, the actress was spotted wearing boyfriend jeans while carrying a tray full of drinks.
Despite her efforts to stay undercover by hiding her face under a large floppy hat, Vanessa Hudgens still exposed her toned mid-riff in a pair of baggy boyfriend jeans by Wildfox.

She styled the jeans with brown leather open-toe wedges, a brown leather belt, and a loose crop top. The actress and singer accessorized with a statement necklace by Vanessa Mooney and carried a Caterina purse by Cuore & Pelle.

About Cuore & Pelle: The Brand Behind the Bag
Cuore & Pelle, Italian for “Heart” and “Leather,” was a designer handbag studio celebrated for its commitment to quality craftsmanship, luxurious details, and functional design. Specializing in genuine leather, the brand crafted each piece using carefully selected hides that offered rich textures and came in both bold hues and versatile neutrals.
Their designs caught the attention of style icons, with Taylor Swift famously carrying the Caterina purse while out in New York City—an effortlessly chic moment featured on Your Next Shoes.
Although Cuore & Pelle built a loyal following, the brand has since ceased operations. Their Instagram account hasn’t been updated since 2017, and their official website is no longer active, making these bags stylish vintage finds for collectors today.
Why Vanessa Hudgens Loves the Caterina Purse
It seems like Vanessa’s current favorite bag is the Cuore & Pelle “Caterina” purse. And we can’t blame the starlet for loving this tote because we’re also slightly obsessed with it.
We love Caterina’s chic but straightforward silhouette, and its two-tone finish is just beautiful. As Vanessa demonstrated, it can be worn in two ways — as a tote and as a shoulder bag, which adds significant points for both style and functionality.
