For carefully selected quality products for sale in a department store, which of the following two terms you prefer, elaborate products or choice products? Or you have a third one to offer?
"Choice". "Elaborate" suggest it might be more complicated than high quality. You might also use the word select.
Those two terms mean two different things.
Elaborate implies an attention to details, numerous parts, characterized by intricacy...as in complicated or involved, richness of detail.
Whereas, your application of the word choice implies a selection..or even election...or perhaps preference.
Follow Roger's advice and use select.

Um. Well, you wouldn't call it select when you've also referred to it as
carefully selected. It would sound too repetitious.
How about:
Premium products?
What kind of products?
Hi-end clothing or jewelry?
Gourmet food?
People's Choice snacks?
Preferred Whiskeys?
Choice Meats?
Goods for VIPs put up in the State Guest House
These are a great variety of goods such as wines, tobacco, tea, coffee, tableware, porcelain, chopsticks, forks and knives, tea sets, stationery fans, leather goods, costumes that are sold in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing where heads of state reside during their visits to China. I am doing revisions of a translation done by some others.
Use the term "upscale gourmet" to describe the foods and food preparation items (also called Table Top)
