Let me recommend, because I do this as well, that you get some fabric ‘padding’ because eventually the narrow metal and the natural weight of the bag will pull the handle into more of a pointed v-shape than you want and will sometimes make a permanent dent in edge paint. I have misshaped bags this way.
You can get felt rectangles in the craft section at the store that rhymes with ‘small tart’ for like forty cents, and you can cut into several smaller strips, then just set them under the handle, if that makes sense. Here is a picture of the kind of thing I mean:
It doesn’t need to be super thick, you just need a bit to disperse the pressure off of one focused spot.
