zerOz

Ooh ooh ooh! Today, I made a stop in zerOs. This was my first venture inside this store. I’d never had any desire to stop by before, simply cause I figured they were just another high-​end purse shop. Wrong!
Their leather «wallets» are freaking awesome! Their bright, bold colored hide left me speechless. Several have a stamped, tooled, design. The owner the young gal that greeted me explained all about the shop. Leather’s great quality from Italy. I too hate carrying around a big billfold. These little suckers are my knight I shining armor! My birthday just so happens to be next month, so I might just have to splurge and buy myself a birthday present here!

I used to work in downtown Columbus and always passed zerOz regularly. I stopped in a couple times and they’re very friendly people who truly believe in their business, as they should. Unfortunately, I never had enough time to buy from them. It’s been some months since I’ve moved to Florida, but I still wanted a wallet from zerOz. Even over e-​mail to customize my order, they’re just as friendly and helpful. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Service is great, their business is great, and their work is superb. Thank you!

Have passed the storefront on occasion during visits to Columbus but never stopped in until today; left with a wallet for my wife.
Paul is exceptionally helpful and informative, not pushy sales, just straight informative, stay all day if you want, Paul will just pump you with information, not berate you into a sale.
Will see how my wife likes hers and go from there for myself, but seems like a cool idea and convenient way to carry your cards and cash without a lot of lumps from a bulky wallet.

I’ll start by saying that I love my Zeroz. I’ve started carrying cash more since buying it, and I haven’t looked back at the old traditional wallet since. I bought it during a neighborhood sale while visiting Columbus and met the folks who make it. Man are they passionate about their product! It’s a really cool accessory, and I haven’t found an inconvenience with it yet.
They mentioned that the «Tabz», basically the sleeve in which you place your most commonly used card, will eventually crack and have to be replaced. This happened to mine after a summer with lots of travel and activity, no big deal. The problem I had with it, however, was trying to get replacements ordered. The website is Adobe Flash based, and neither my Android phone nor iPad allowed me to use the web site. I had to get on a computer to make the order, and shipping was very expensive for something that’s super easy to ship. Additionally, they come in a $ 5 three-​pack with other types of Tabz (a rigid one and a black one) that I may or may not want or like. There were no other options for replacement other than the assorted five-​pack.
With that all said, I love the Zeroz and I might buy a second one just to have another style to add to a rotation. Awesome product, not a great web site. Thanks guys!

Stopped in on 7÷14÷15, over a year from the date I first purchased my wallet. The adhesive broke ages ago but I continued to use it with a rubber band.
Paul greeted me very cheerfully and when I placed the wallet on the counter (without saying a word) he immediately proclaimed, «that’s no good!» and offered to repair it for free (one business day turn around).
This offer was made without questions more than a year after I purchased it — and they even pointed out I had way more cards in it than it was rated to use (I had 14 in an 8 card wallet).
Paul and Leah are awesome. This business is awesome. Buy a Zeorz.

Prior to a Zeroz wallet purchase for Christmas a few years back, my fiancé used to just keep his cards/​money in his pocket. They were always misshapen and misplaced. I had the pleasure of visiting the store to pick up my online order (which was super easy and user friendly) and there were only two people working. It’s a tiny place, and based on the smell of adhesive when you walk in, you know they do everything in-​house. The owner was friendly and answered all of my questions. The gift was a huge hit, and the wallet has continued to hold up ever since. We more recently purchased one of the lime green wallets for my future mother-​in-​law, and she uses it when she goes out riding on their motorcycle.
This is a great place to buy a locally made product that’s super useful!

I purchased a Zeroz wallet about 6 months ago and Paul, the owner, assured me and two of my coworkers, who also purchased a wallet that if the wallets ever needed repaired he would make the necessary repairs free of charge. This guarantee included the credit card insert. I recently returned to the store and spoke with Paul about replacing the credit card insert which is ripping. Paul laughed and told me that I could buy another one if I wanted. I have referred several people to Zeroz and each one purchased a wallet. I will not refer anyone else and the people I have referred have also experienced problems with their Zeroz wallets and/​or the owner, Paul. Poor customer service and quality of product.

What a great find. I was walking by and had to stop in for a look.
I was given a guided tour, including how the wallets are made and was immediately sold. They had a great selection at an affordable price.
This is a must for all those guys sitting sideways on their overstuffed wallets.
I ended up purchasing a second, 3card wallet for the occasional night out and hiking trips.

Walked into a quaint little shop.
I love a few things about this place.
1. Location. I like that it is down town, I went on my lunch break to purchase one.
2. The Owner, Paul, Great guy! After talking to him for just a moments I felt like we were life long friends! Very genuine and passionate about his amazing, SIMPLE product. You can tell a lot of thought and care went into designing and making these little wallets.
3. Made right here in C-​BUS!!! Cant get much cooler than that.

Who knew you could fall in love with a wallet and commit to a lifetime together besides? Yes, I’m here to tell you that you can and I did. I found this place while on a business trip to Columbus a few years ago. I was in the coffee shop across the street sitting at the window, kind of spacing out, when the gorgeous design of the zerOz store suddenly woke me up (even more than the Americano I was drinking at the time). When I walked in a few minutes later, the first person to talk to me was the owner. So welcoming, it felt like we were going to be friends. Genuinely nice guy who also happens to have a brilliant design aesthetic and make stunning wallets. It felt like being in my favorite gelato place — all those flavors (I mean, colors and designs), I couldn’t figure out how to decide on which one to get. So I got two. And then later I went back and got a few more for friends.
Here it is almost two years later and I can honestly say that every single time I pull out my zerOz wallet I feel affection wash over me. It’s such an elegant design, the deep red color is gorgeous, the circle design has a modern flair with a humorous touch, the strap on the back is perfect for holding either my work key card or a hotel key card, and I remember the guy who made it. His only problem is that the quality of the craftsmanship means that I’m not wearing out the wallet. Ah, but I keep thinking I need to change it up a bit. Problem solved — plenty of colors and designs to choose from. And the prices! I can afford a few more of these well-​crafted wallets.

I was so skeptical going from a traditional fat wallet like my dad had to my Zeroz. I can’t believe how much I love this wallet! It is so small and easy to use. It also forced me to downsize all the crap I had been toting for years. I have been liberated!

I went through 28 years of my life without a wallet. I literally can’t stand the feeling of anything in my pockets, so every time I would buy a new wallet to try, it would last about a day before being exiled to some sock drawer — never to be seen again.
And then I met zerOz, and my life was forever changed. Okay, so it’s just a wallet and can’t really change your life. But it’s still pretty freaking fantastic.
I bought my first zerOz about three years ago, and it still looks perfect. Seriously, it looks brand new. I’ve heard some people talk about theirs getting stretched out, but the trick to keeping your wallet looking great is to treat it the way the zerOz folks tell you to. Don’t. Overfill. It. My little three-​card wallet has *never* had more than three cards in it, and it has never stretched out. The only problem I’ve ever had is that the cash strap recently broke; however, the friendly staff were happy to replace it for free! They even showed me what they’re doing to help prevent future broken straps. Very cool!
For a recent vacation, I really wanted a zerOz that held a few more cards, so I bought a snazzy new five-​card one. And guess what? It’s just as amazing as my original one. But this time when I went shopping, there were dozens of styles, textures, and colors to choose from!
I really can’t say enough good things about zerOz. Great people and a great product!

I like the design and concept. However, the cast strap broke after 8 months. When I wrote in to customer service on their site asking for a discount on a new wallet, I never received the courtesy of a reply.

Paul is a customer service rockstar! zerOz are so compact, functional and, most of all, cool! They make great gifts. I have two, a medium for everyday and an extra small for going out with friends. Once you go to a zerOz, you won’t look back!

Visited the store on Saturday after verifying that it would be open. Excellent help in the store, ended up buying two wallets. Strongly recommend the store.

I have purchased these for nearly all the men in my life in addition to talking many others into purchasing one for themself! They seriously are quite amazing! I also love the personal small local business feel that they have. I love shopping local for unique things!

After years of walking by, the owner stopped me of the sidewalk and invited me in. I thought it was a show room and not a store, but you can buy the wallets here. One the design is modern and utilitarian and two there are scads of different colors for your perusal. I love that they are made in America and that the company is local. I’ll probably treat myself to a new wallet one of these days.

Ditch that fat thing in your back pocket! This place rocks; I love my new wallet! Ultra-​slim wallets that are very high quality and affordable.
Check them out!

Chances are you’ve walked by here a billion times if you’ve ever frequented any businesses along Gay St.
In an inconspicuous shop along Gay you’ll find one cool shop full of bite-​sized wallets you didn’t know you needed — but really do.
Remember that recurring New Year’s resolution to de-​clutter and slim down your waistline — and your George Costanza wallet? Well, Zeroz can’t help you with your weight loss, but they CAN help you maximize your minimized wallet.
These condensed wallets are hand-​crafted from Italian leather right there in the store and from frist glance, you’ll think it’s too small to contain your life’s keepings. When you put it that way, well yea, it probably is, but please remember your resolution above… Each wallet comes in sizes XS to L or XL and carry anywhere from 3 to 9? cards… (Not positive on the largest number, but the largest wallet carries more cards than you’ll probably need. They each cost from $ 36 to $ 52.
I ended up purchasing this as a gift (a GREAT gift by the way) and was a little hesitant that the receiver wouldn’t dig it since it’s so slim. To my surprise he did — and is obsessed! I’ve never seen a man more happy to ditch his over-​sized wallet!
But they’re not just for fellas. There are dozens of fun, flirty colors and designs for ladies, too!
They do sell their products online, which I recommend if you don’t live close by. But if you do, do yourself a favor and stop in. Ask the owner his story and see for yourself their operation up-​close-​and-​personal. It’s a family-​affair! They make great, high-​quality, local products and I’m happy to shout their praises from the rooftops. A great gift at a great price! So happy I finally stopped in after all this time!
