No. You can always add one from the mannequins and supplies page. However keep in mind that unless your state requires a hard kit case you can use any bag or suitcase as long as it is not larger than 30x30in and contains no beauty brands as the logo. Only order a duffle bag id you do not have one of those options available.

Every state board exam kit comes with a free 30 min exam consultation call, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CALL. Often times instructors are under informed on what state board policies actually are.
