I was lucky enough to run into this bag on my trip to Europe without even knowing it. And I just couldn't resist it so it has become my first H bag. It is indeed quite big but I think it's manageable. If you want, it can be carried as a cross-body as well, thanks to the curve on the top, it embraces your body nicely. I tried that in the store, the SA was surprised how nice it actually looked and had other SAs come over to take a look.
Although there's no zipper on the top it somehow closes up quite well on its own. I think they put some effort onto that design. I really love how versatile it is and the way it slouches just gives that wonderful casual look.
Here are some mod shots, though without the cross-body style, didn't take photo of that. Hope they would be helpful. Mine is bleu de galice evercolor. There was an indigo with the same leather in the store too.
Congrats on this beautiful bag! With your pix, I finally understand how this bag works and think it's very cool and, as you say, well thought out. It's also not overly large on you - can I ask how tall you are?
Here is a picture I took to compare the sizes of a Tool Box 33, Birkin 35 and Oxer
Here is another showing that the base of the Oxer is only slighty longer than that of the Birkin 35
and one more to show that the Oxer is barely wider than a Birkin 35
