Leather goods: luggage
This seems to be the name of the place where the handle is fixed to the luggage:
"La signature de la poignée réside dans le galbe de l’« enchape » c’est-à-dire la base de la poignée fixée au corps du sac."
This term is used in wine-making also, from what I've seen, but that's not much help here. I've found various references in French but no English equivalent: help! (please)

chape
See discussion entries (thanks for asking me to post this, Victoria).
Here's another example, with images:
Measuring 43.5” long and 3.75” wide, and fashioned of a single layer of heavy tan canvas, the girth features leather buckle chapes at each end, each chape securing two nickel steel buckles. The buckles are the same buckles used on the standard, regulation Model 1916 Girth. The girth is also fitted with two “D” rings secured with leather chapes to which the tie-down straps on the cantle bags would be buckled.

I wonder if it's significant that most of the hits for this word are Spanish.

You could just say handle attachment.

| Thanks, that would indeed be the fall-back option but I remain hopeful that someone will come up with the English term (if there is one) |

Handle chape trimmed and ready to be attached to the bag

This Gold handbag attachment ohp2773gd is normally used with a rolled leather handle around the "hook" part and a flat leather chape around the straight bar thus attaching the strap to the bag.

The stitching had come undone on one side where the leather connects to the buckle at the chape.
