Abstract A collapsible handle of baggage comprises two outer tubes, one handle, two insertion members, and two retaining members. The two outer tubes are fastened in a parallel manner to the baggage. The handle is provided with a grip portion and two bar portions which extend in a parallel manner from both ends of the grip portion to be inserted into the two outer tubes. The two insertion members are tubular in shape and fastened to the top ends of the two outer tubes such that the bottoms of the two insertion members are contiguous to the projections of the inner walls of the two outer tubes. The two retaining members are provided respectively with a round bottom for fastening to the bottom of the bar portion and for being disposed in the outer tube. The round bottom is provided peripherally with a tubular portion having a predetermined number of slits and at least two elastic arm portions. Each of the arm portions is provided at the top end thereof with a protuberance engageable with the projection of the outer tube so as to permit the handle to be retained and located by the outer tube at the time when the handle is pulled.
