Kelly Danse

I'd say you're on the right track since a Kelly Danse is one good alternative to the Kelly Pochette IMO. Plus, you have a shoulder/backpack bag option which makes it much more versatile then a KP.
 
I have two KDs...one in etoupe swift and one, like melliesmom, in brighton bleu croc. It's bigger enough than the KP to make it really usable...I put a few things in it to go to lunch, and I use it at evening events because the shoulder strap allows me to have two hands free. However, it seems harder to find than the Loch Ness monster.
