Have questions about Zero?
We’ve got answers—and a few extras.

What happens after my application is submitted?

When we receive your application, your name will be added to our waitlist. Once accepted, you will receive an invitation via email to complete your account and select your first bag. As we are processing high volumes of requests, we are prioritizing applications with referrals from existing members.

What is the membership pricing?

We provide two memberships: Classic at $159/month to select any bags that retail below $4500 and $229/month for unlimited retail. You are able to update your membership tier once you have been accepted to Zero Collective.

How does insurance work? 

Your membership subscription covers signs of wear due to natural aging of the piece. However, members are responsible for signs of wear resulting from negligence—including rips, tears and scuffs—and paying for the cost to clean & restore, or replace the piece.

This policy also applies to any lost or stolen items. In such cases, you will be responsible for covering the replacement cost of the bag. We will assist you by providing all the necessary documentation to support any claims you need to file with your personal insurance (home, auto, personal).

A helpful rule of thumb is to treat your Zero Collective bag as if it were your own. If it’s lost or stolen, your insurance policy would guide you through the process and we encourage you to handle the bag with care so everyone in the Collective can enjoy it.

How do I know my bag is authentic?

Every item undergoes a three-step authentication process: by our in-house team, by third-party experts, and through artificial intelligence technology, ensuring every piece is authentic and meets our highest standards.

What condition are the pieces in?

We maintain the exceptional standards of our collection through our sourcing and care process. As our pieces come from various partners, the condition of each bag depends on the style and collection. We frequently add pieces from recent collections, where members may be the first to experience a bag. However, we also provide vintage and archival pieces, which may show signs of wear. If there is a specific item you would like to inquire about, please email us at concierge@zerocollective.ca.

What does it mean for a bag to be vintage?

When a luxury piece is from a collection over 20 years old, it is typically considered a vintage item. Naturally, vintage items can develop signs of wear (or character, as we like to call it!), which depend on many different factors, including how it was worn, stored, and cared for. At Zero, we strive to build our vintage collection with highly coveted bags that encompass unique designs, expert craftsmanship, and influential era’s in fashion. When you rent a vintage bag with us, you can expect an in-style, ready-to-wear piece in excellent vintage condition.

How will my selected piece be delivered?

We have partnered with a premium courier service to ensure your items are delivered at your convenience. When you're ready to return an item, place it back in our ZC box and schedule a pickup. Delivery and pickup is all included in your membership.

Do I have to be home to receive my bag?

We advise that someone is home to receive the delivery as the items are rare, high-value items. To ensure safe arrival of your bag, we require an in-person recipient for each delivery. If no recipients are available on your scheduled delivery date, you may request a new delivery date, or pick-up your bag from one of our approved pick-up locations.

What happens if the bag I want is unavailable?

If there are bags that are currently unavailable, you can always “add to wishlist” and be notified once it’s available to rent. We make daily updates to our collection based on bags that are being returned from members, so you’ll be the first to know once an item comes back into our Collective! 

What if I don’t love my bag?

Zero Collective bags are carefully curated based on year, style, and opinions from our in-house fashion experts. If you don’t love your bag, you are free to swap after 30 days for any bag within the Collective. When selecting a bag, we encourage members to take a careful look at the dimensions to make sure the size meets your preferences.

Can I reserve an item for rent on a future date?

Bags from our Collective can be reserved on a first come basis so that all of our members can browse and select. If there is a second bag you would like to reserve, you can always add an additional subscription to your membership to guarantee that you have the desired bag available exclusively for your use.

How do I upgrade my membership?

You may upgrade your membership at any time for the start of your next membership cycle. For any inquiries or requests, please reach out to us at concierge@zerocollective.ca.

How long is my membership commitment?

As Zero offers exclusive collections and members-only pricing on bag purchases, we require a three-month commitment for all new members. Should you wish to cancel, email concierge@zerocollective.ca, and your membership will conclude once your final item is returned by the end of the current billing cycle.

Please note, if you choose to rejoin after cancellation, you will be placed on our waitlist.

Why is there a three-month minimum?

At Zero Collective, our focus is on fostering loyalty through a community-driven experience. By requiring a minimum three-month commitment, we ensure that members can fully immerse themselves in exploring a wide range of luxury bags from our collection, rather than opting for a single, short-term rental.

How often do you receive new pieces? 

To ensure a steady flow of trendy, in-season bags, we curate new collections of bags on a weekly basis. See something you think we should add? Feel free to let us know at concierge@zerocollective.ca.

Where is Zero Collective based?

We are proudly Canadian and based in Toronto.
