French term or phrase: avant-premiere

"produits livrés en avant-première ". I know that "avant-premiere" is usually a preview - can this be used for goods? I think the products are clothing.

I think, as the word implies, "preVIEW" applies to SEEing the products before they are put on sale. "Pre-release" could apply to anything, and "pre-release deliveries/sales" etc. means the products are sold/delivered to special, "exclusive" clients before they are offered to the plebs.

However, it will depend what is meant by "livré": actually "delivered, sold", or "livré à la vue du public", "put on display to the public eye"?
