Looks to me as though this cake is coated in fondant decorations.  I'd make that handle by gluing together a stack of oreos with buttercream, or chocolate or whatever, and then I'd dip them in ganache with a high chocolate to cream ratio, and put it in the fridge or the freezer.  Once the chocolate was cold and hard I'd wrap it with the "leather band" made of fondant.

I agree that it looks like a lot of fondant. I would probably make the handle with rice ceral treats and then cover in fondant.  It would also depend on how much cake you actually need, not making the handle cake too is taking away from the amount of cake to serve. If you need it all to be cake you can draw the basic outline on parchment paper lay it on the cake and cut around it and then decorate with the fondant. Hope this helps!
