Matilda Crossbody

$489
New Season

The perfect large crossbody for the woman who wants it all — style, space, and serious organisation.

Matilda is the scaled-up sister to our beloved Tilly, bringing all the internal bells and whistles you love but with generous proportions to fit an iPad, Kindle, or whatever else you fancy carrying. She's the sweet spot between compact and roomy, giving you space without the bulk.

Designed with three divided compartments to keep everything beautifully organised, plus six built-in card slots for ultimate convenience. No more digging for your cards or mixing work with personal - everything has its place and stays exactly where you need it.

The detailed chain adds an elegant edge to her silhouette, while the versatile strap means you can wear her crossbody for hands-free ease or remove it entirely to carry her as a sleek clutch for evening. One bag, endless styling possibilities.

Smart organisation. Generous space. Effortless style.

MATILDA CROSSBODY

Beautiful design. I like the compartments/pockets but even with just a few things inside, the bag flares out so it can look a bit funny. Also a bit heavy for how much it can carry - could be improved with using less leather perhaps combining the two outer compartments to make the middle compartment instead of a whole separate middle compartment if that makes sense.

★★★★★

MATILDA BAG

Amazing bag, lits of compartments, and suitable for everyday errands. Loving and worth it!

Your Questions, Answered by Our Customers

Everything — and customers are consistently delighted by how much it holds. The Matilda comfortably fits all your daily essentials, with working mums reporting room for a nappy and wipes alongside their personal and work items, all while the bag maintains its elegant, slim silhouette.

The thoughtful internal organisation — multiple pockets, card slots, and compartments — means you can leave your wallet at home entirely.

Some customers even fit an iPad inside. Spacious without ever looking it, the Matilda carries your whole day beautifully.

Even better in person. The bubble leather is the number one thing customers rave about across 213 reviews — describing it as beautiful, soft, and genuinely premium from the very first wear with no breaking in required.

The quality extends to every detail, including the silky smooth zippers that glide effortlessly and make the bag a pleasure to use every single day.

Customers who bought their Matilda years ago report it's still in frequent use and looking as beautiful as ever. This is leather crafted to last, and it shows.


Think of the Matilda as the natural next step. Customers who upgraded from the Tilly Big Sis consistently describe it as the perfect size up — just enough extra room for a few more things without going oversized or losing that sleek, elegant silhouette they loved.

You get the same premium leather and craftsmanship, plus the added versatility of the removable gold chain that transforms it from casual crossbody to evening clutch.

Travellers particularly love it for keeping passports and valuables secure and accessible on the go.

Effortlessly — and the removable gold chain is the reason why. Simply detach it to carry the Matilda as a sophisticated clutch for dinners and special occasions, then reattach for hands-free daytime wear.

Customers specifically call this feature a game changer, loving the ability to move between occasions without ever changing bags.

The adjustable strap also pairs beautifully with SABEN's wider strap option for added comfort during travel or longer days out. One bag, endless occasions — dressed up or down in seconds.

Stay organised — and customers love it for exactly this reason. The Matilda's interior is thoughtfully designed so everything has its own place, with dedicated card slots, multiple compartments, and pockets that keep keys, cards, and phone instantly accessible without any digging required.

Reviewers consistently highlight the easy access layout as a standout feature, particularly appreciated by busy mums and professionals who need efficiency throughout the day.

Everything stays secure, everything stays where you left it — calm, organised, and quietly making your day run more smoothly.

Completely — and customers across all ages confirm it. Despite how much it holds, the Matilda remains surprisingly lightweight and comfortable throughout the day, with the crossbody design distributing weight evenly so there's no shoulder strain even when fully packed.

Working mums and travellers particularly appreciate the hands-free convenience that keeps them moving freely without compromise.

The quality construction gives the bag beautiful structure and substance without adding unnecessary weight — so whether you're carrying everything or just the essentials, it always sits and feels just right.


Without question — and customers come back to prove it. The Matilda holds a 4.9/5 rating across 200 reviews with virtually no negative feedback, and a significant number of reviewers are either repeat SABEN customers or on their second Matilda in a different colour.

Customers choose it for milestone gifts, meaningful travels, and everyday moments they want to feel elevated.

When a bag becomes part of your story — not just your wardrobe — that tells you everything. Beautiful, considered, and crafted to be reached for every single day.
