A door handle intended to be mounted on a door of a motor vehicle, said door handle comprising a gripping sleeve including an end portion and being arranged to be movable in rotation between a rest position in which it is positioned substantially parallel to said door, said end portion being adjacent to the door, and an open position of the door in which it is inclined relative to the door, said end portion being distant from the door, wherein: - said gripping sleeve includes a fixed portion and a cap removable from the fixed portion forming the end portion of the door handle, said cap being intended to cover at least partially a lock mounted on the door of the vehicle, said gripping sleeve including fastening means allowing to fasten the cap to the fixed portion of the gripping sleeve and to remove the cap from said fixed portion by a translational movement of the cap, only when the door handle is in the open position of the door, - when the door handle is in the rest position, the cap has a first end blocked by the fastening means and a second end intended to be blocked by the door, and when the door handle is in the open position of the door, the cap is movable in translation along an axis of translation between a blocking position in which its first end is blocked by the fastening means and a release position in which it is disconnected from the fastening means, - the depth of the cap is substantially identical to that of the gripping sleeve to block the latter between the fastening means and the door capable of forming a stop when the door handle is in the rest position, the fastening means having a thickness e smaller than the distance d between the second end of the cap and the door when the door handle is in the open position so as to enable the translation of the cap toward the door along the axis of translation in order to disconnect the cap from the fixed portion of the gripping sleeve. - said gripping sleeve includes a fixed portion and a cap removable from the fixed portion forming the end portion of the door handle, said cap being intended to cover at least partially a lock mounted on the door of the vehicle, said gripping sleeve including fastening means allowing to fasten the cap to the fixed portion of the gripping sleeve and to remove the cap from said fixed portion by a translational movement of the cap, only when the door handle is in the open position of the door, - when the door handle is in the rest position, the cap has a first end blocked by the fastening means and a second end intended to be blocked by the door, and when the door handle is in the open position of the door, the cap is movable in translation along an axis of translation between a blocking position in which its first end is blocked by the fastening means and a release position in which it is disconnected from the fastening means, - the depth of the cap is substantially identical to that of the gripping sleeve to block the latter between the fastening means and the door capable of forming a stop when the door handle is in the rest position, the fastening means having a thickness e smaller than the distance d between the second end of the cap and the door when the door handle is in the open position so as to enable the translation of the cap toward the door along the axis of translation in order to disconnect the cap from the fixed portion of the gripping sleeve.
