Absolutely nothing wrong it. No one brand satisfies every need.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with mixing brands at all. I always try to buy LV charms and bandeaus that don’t scream LV so I can use them on other bags too. Here is a LV charm on a Coach bag this past Valentines Day — to me, the perfect pairing on VDay.
I see people mixing brands/logos all the time. I do try to be mindful of multiple large logos together, unless you are going for the EXTRA look.
I would never actually wear this but it was a lot of fun putting together!

@gabz Absolutely you can mix and match! You can do whatever you want with your charms and what not. In fact, I think it is almost impossible to be completely brand synchronized from head to toe unless you are an official brand ambassador in which case you would be paid to do so. So let LV make friends with Coach, Coco or Yves or whomever.
I mix match as well. I paid these stuff to make my outfit as I see fits for the day.
I think mixing brands gives an added flex to a look. Go for it!
Here is my LV Girolata with a Hermès rodeo charm.
It depends what it is. I wouldn’t put a monogrammed charm on a different brand of bag. Or a DE charm on a bag that wasn’t LV. I only have LV charms so I’m not sure how I would feel about putting a non-LV charm on an LV bag. If it was a generic one or subtle charm from another designer I guess I would use it with my LVs if I liked it!
A couple of days after I said this… my partner returned from a business trip to Kenya and brought me back this beautiful handcrafted leather tassel charm. I think it goes beautifully with my DE Beaubourg.

I used to be a "purist" about mixing brands. It wasn't an issue when I only owned LV bags. Everything from bandeaus to wallets was LV. But over time, I have started to mix things up. One example: I LOVE my LV slgs, and didn't feel the need to buy cosmetic bags (etc) to use in my non-LV bags (although another favorite brand is Chanel, and I did buy a Chanel wallet - - my only non-LV wallet). I also use H twillys on non-H bags from time to time. May not sound like much, but I have gotten more flexible!
