I would just save for the Alma MM. But, if you absolutely had to have a Pomme vernis bag right this second: how about the Rodeo Drive? It cost half as much as the Alma MM, and it comes in Pomme. It's a sexy, chic little bag. I've seen it carried during the day with casual attire, and it looked great, and of course it would be stunning with dressy attire. I don't know if it would be too small for your purposes though...unless you don't carry much during the day.
