1. A door handle assembly comprising:
a bracket; and
a handle, said handle including a first extremity and a second extremity opposed to the first extremity,
the first extremity of the handle being connected to a first extremity of a first lever, said first lever being designed to be connected to an opening lever to open a latch of the vehicle door, said first lever being designed to rotate between a rest position where the first extremity of the handle is in a rest position, a deployed position where the first extremity of the handle is in a deployed position outside the bracket and an opening position where the first lever actuates the opening lever,
the second extremity of the handle being connected to a first extremity of a second lever, said second lever being designed to rotate between a rest position where the second extremity of the handle is in a rest position and a deployed position where the second extremity of the handle is in a deployed position outside the bracket,
at least one of the first or second lever being connected to its respective first or second extremity of the handle by a pivot-slide connection,
wherein the vehicle door handle assembly also comprises a dumper positioned into one of the first or second extremity of the handle in order to dampen the sliding of the extremity of the first or second lever in its pivot-slide connection with the handle when the first extremity of the handle moves from its opening position to its deployed position.
