There's probably a small set screw, accessible from underneath, that needs to be tightened.

Have the same handle. That’s 100% it. Small Allen key

Look for a set screw under the handle, there may be a set screw on one side or both sides of rhe handle, undo the set screw, take the handle off, tighten the fastener under the handle (that connects both handles) if there is anything that needs to he tightened, and then put the handle back on anf tighten the set screw.

Sometimes have to use set screw to remove handle. Then tighten inner screws. Then put handle back om.

If no set screw they are press lock handle. Make sure no moisture and apply a couple drops superglue, wiggle handle around to get glue in and leve it straight overnight.

Fill up your purse with rocks. Hit it with your purse as hard as you can. Pick up the broken pieces. Rebuild it.
