I'm going to agree with you that this is NOT embossed. Whoever gets this, you're getting a great deal! Even if it's embossed, that's a somewhat decent price. If anyone here gets this please post pics!!
I thought the same thing due to the leather lining (most designers’ exotics are lined with leather)
but then I found this on Fashionphile and I’d think they’d know the difference between real croc and embossed croc

Yoogis also has one with leather lining that says embossed.

I believe all Neo Classics are lined in leather.

I looked around too. I'm leaning toward embossed leather, not crocodile.
 
Here is what appears to be genuine croc first, lined in leather.

^^ This looks like a mini city, not a classique to me. But is the lined in leather new? I found an authentic crocodile that checks all the boxes and is lined in fabric?

I too have seen some from 2006 looking like genuine croc and lined in cloth. The one currently listed in CV is from 2015. I think some of us are sensing that it must be real croc since they don't line embossed croc with leather [EDIT to clarify that I mean standard style cities/firsts/works, not the styles that are already always lined in leather, such as the Neo Classics and Hourglass], not that they never line real croc in cloth. I'm leaning towards the VC listing being real croc.

I was just thinking the same, we need someone who owns a croc to chime in. I thought it was a big difference too compared to deco's found bag. Plus I'm sure the seller would list for more if it was an exotic.
I've seen people not realize they had authentic croc list it as embossed before. But I trust @jbags07, she loves exotics. :yes:

This is so interesting!!! So the newer croc bags are embossed croc and leather lined but the older ones are real croc??
That's what I've always 'assumed' but you know how that goes! ;)
