French term or phrase: marque confidentielle

Good morning,

"Ils vous font découvrir les marques confidentielles mais très tendance"

"They invite you to discover confidential but very trendy brands"

Can anyone confirm that the translation of "confidentielle" is ok or suggest a translation please, I saw that it's used in French but not English.

Thank you :)

exclusive brand

Explanation:
I think it just means brands that are for a select audience, as opposed to "mass-appeal" brands, which doesn't stop them being very trendy.

Cf. Robert & Collins definition:

confidentiel, -ielle
[pour public limité]
[roman] ▶ for a narrow readership
[film] ▶ for a limited audience
