I tried to add 
[expl="retail store which stocks specially selected brands"]
but the format seems to be wrong.</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>Daijr says it's wasei, but GG5 simply glosses it as "select shop".  I see a few non-Japanese WWW sites for them.</upd_detl>

<upd_refs>I hadn't heard of the term before today, in either English or Japanese, but this website throws some light on the matter:
http://mekas.50mm.jp/en/tutorials/112.xhtml#1
.
"Although 'select shop' is now in common parlance around the world, it was originally the Japanese term for boutiques that carry a wide selection of fashionable products from different brands. Before the Japanese fashion market's huge expansion in the late 1980s, select shops were often consumers' only access to up-and-coming brands from the United States and Europe. Select shops are often seen as the retail analog to fashion magazines — with products chosen through expert "editing" from concerned and sophisticated buyers."
.
It seems that it's not only for clothing, though. I'm doing a translation for a soy sauce maker whose customer list includes ニューヨーク SOHO発、食のセレクトショップ.</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>I think the previously provided (Japanese) source was wrong when it said that "select shop" is "now in common parlance 
around the world". I googled "good select shops" and got 14 results, of which the majority were either written by 
Japanese people or written about select shops in Japan.</upd_detl>
