The invention relates to a handle for a sanitary fitting, and particularly to a single-lever sanitary fitting, having a base and a cap, whereby the base of the handle has a handle section and an attachment section. The handle cap can be engaged with and disengaged from the handle base in an area to be covered on the top of the handle section and/or of the attachment section. In order to be able to repeatedly disengage the cap of the handle from the base without there being any risk of damage or without necessitating the use of a tool, there are corresponding locking devices on the base and cap of the handle, which act jointly to combine the base and cap of the handle in such a manner that the cap can placed in mounting direction A onto the area of the base which has to be covered. It is then slid perpendicular to mounting direction A in sliding direction B, establishing a clamping effect between the locking devices, whereby the cap is pushed inward until it covers the entire designated area.
