Meet Sue Messent
Sue researching in Paris
I am such a girly girl at heart!
My love for girly glam was discovered at the very young age of 3 when I earned my first pay cheque as a model. My passion for accessories and fashion continued to motivate me and eventually drove me to create tres femme, a collection of luxurious girly girl accessories with Parisian flair...and oh how I love 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.
Sue meeting with Teen Vogue NYC
Before creating tres femme, I spent 12 years working in film and television with many of Vancouver and Hollywood's top stars, producers and directors. During this time, I also launched a jewelry line and a successful collection of handcrafted, jewelled cigar box purses.
As the orders came pouring in, I lost someone very special to heart disease, my dad. This was not only a very difficult time, but also a turning point. I decided to leave my day job in film and change my lifestyle by incorporating the things I truly love, designing accessories, travel, fashion, et cetera and by doing so, I now say there's a fine line between work and pleasure.
Today, with my mum's support and love for accessories too, we work side by side and enjoy every girly minute of it.
Tres Femme products are available in over 400 fabulous boutiques throughout North America and as far away as Singapore.
