Turns out, we're not the only ones who miss the Obama family. Meryl Streep was photographed on set of new film Papers on Tuesday, clutching this season's next major accessory.

Yes, the 68-year-old was carrying her belongings in a handbag depicting a photograph of a loved-up Barack and Michelle Obama beaming at the camera.

And it's hardly surprising, as the former President of the United States has long been a fan of the actress. Back in 2014, he declared his love for Meryl as he presented her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

"I love Meryl Streep," Barack admitted. "Her husband knows I love her. Michelle knows I love her. There's nothing they can do about it."

Of course, as soon as we spotted the kitsch accessory we searched the depths of the Internet for a similar item. But no such luck. E! News suggests the must-have is custom-made but this of course, only makes us love Meryl more.

Forget the basket bag this season, we've found the next best thing...
