L'occitane offers these for their shampoos and some of their other products. Their F&F sale is going on right now (20% off) plus I'm fortunate enough to be close to one of their outlets so I'll always check for the refill bags when I'm in the area. Their aromachologie products are lovely.
As far as aluminum bottles go I have some old travel sized bottles from Phyto products that I use. Plastic lids, though. In Phtyto's "last chance" section they have a travel sized shampoo in the aluminum bottle for 5$ right now. Two birds with one bottle?
