Have not seen a Birkin in cuir a bride. It is a very stiff, thick leather (bridle leather) and I am not sure it has enough flexibility to handle those multiple side folds well.
makes sense, thank you dq and Pepperno, i don't think it does - it would also be outrageously heavy.

Would a VN weight be comparable to barenia?
yup, saw that too castorny.I've recently seen VN combined with Toile Gibiciere (olive canvas).
I have a belt in cuir a bride. It is super super thick. I have never seen a bag made of this skin. It is also has a nap on the surface, not quite suede, but not as smooth as VN. It is aging well, turning a more Barenia shade. I love the H natural leathers.

Check out these photos from my favorite seller Kaleidoplace. I believe this bag has already been sold:
