Rowena's shop has been my go to answer for Meta's armor. Heck, I even spent the coin and effort for the dyeable version of the original Dragoon set to really send the point home. Also, because it looks spiffy.
Rowena is pretty much an IC lore reason as to why anyone can have certain pieces of gear. If I recall correctly, it's actually some noble in Ishgard who funds the replicas and gives them to Rowena, who in turn sends the noble the tomestones we collect. Don't quote me on that.
