Alt text:   Four women seated around a heavy wooden table in a dimly lit hotel suite, each caught in their own pocket of chiaroscuro light. One holds a crystal glass with poise, another scrolls her phone with shopping bags at her feet, a third writes in a notebook near the window, and the fourth idly touches poker chips. None of them make eye contact, each absorbed in her own world. Warm amber lamps and deep shadows create a cinematic, high-end editorial mood of tension and elegance. Font not visible on this image. The cuffed logo appears bottom-right in white sans-serif with fused “ff.”    SEO tags: cinematic cover art, cuffed brand, moody editorial photography, eastern european women, masculine media aesthetic, brutal honesty in relationships, chiaroscuro tension, luxury hotel scene.
