About Us
Designer and Owner, Sue Messent, is definitely a girly girl at heart.
Her love for girly glam was discovered at the very young age of 3 when she earned her first pay cheque as a model. Her passion for accessories and fashion continued to motivate her and eventually drove her to create tres femme, a collection of luxurious girly accessories with Parisian flair...and oh how she loves romantic Paris and its inspirational ambience! Pourquoi you ask? The quaint boutiques beautified by boxwood topiaries along crooked little streets, the amazing architecture, the patisseries with their flaky croissants and frothy café au laits and lets face it...their ever so chic style.

Before creating tres femme, Sue spent 12 years working in film and television with many of Vancouver and Hollywood's top stars, producers and directors. During this time, she also launched a jewelry line and a successful collection of jewelled purses.
As the orders came pouring in, she lost someone very special to heart disease, her dad. This was not only a very difficult time, but also a turning point. She decided to leave her day job in film and change her lifestyle by incorporating the things she truly loves, designing accessories, travel, fashion, et cetera and by doing so, she now say there's a fine line between work and pleasure.
Today, with her mum's support and love for accessories too, they work side by side and enjoy every girly minute of it.
Tres Femme products are available in over 600 fabulous boutiques throughout North America including The Hilton Hotel, Las Vegas and The Ritz Carlton in California.
