Even if you could buy just the handle part, it wouldn't matter because everything is heat staked together so once you take it apart it won't be going back together.
Heat staked? I have disassembled many of them. The handles are separate but the design sucks because all the plastic screw races break and there’s nothing to hold the handle on. Not sure if that’s what you mean. I converted my Silvy from an LT to LTZ interior and it took me several used panels before I found ones that didn’t fall apart.

Then the Escalade Platinum panels must be slightly different because the leather on the pull handle/arm rest part of the driver door panel was scratched to hell on my 2013 and I bought a used panel that had some damage to the leather on the bottom but the pull handle was good and there was no way to take it apart.

When I bought my 13 about 4 years ago, I had a crunchy passenger handle that was coming apart. Took the panel off, took the chunks out and placed them back in order, then added some metal strips to reinforce and epoxied the whole thing back together internally. Looks OEM. In hindsight I should have documented or take pics.
